Toledot Yeshu (the Life Story of Jesus) Revisited: A Princeton Conference
ISBN: 9783161509483 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of the most controversial books in history, Toledot Yeshu recounts the life story of Jesus from a negative and anti-Christian perspective. It ascribes to Jesus an illegitimate birth, a theft of the Ineffable Name of God, heretical activities, and, finally, a disgraceful death. Perhaps for centuries, the Toledot Yeshu circulated orally until it coalesced into various literary forms. Although the dates of these written compositions remain obscure, some early hints of a Jewish counter-history of Jesus can be found in the works of pagan and Christian authors of Late Antiquity, such as Celsus,...

ISBN: 9781138995994 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Common discourse on Jewish identity in Israel is dominated by the view that Jewish Israelis can, and should, be either religious or secular. Moving away from this conventional framework, this book examines the role of secularism and religion in Jewish society and politics. With a focus on the traditionists (masortim) who comprise over a third of the Jewish-Israeli population, the author examines issues of religion, tradition and secularism in Israel, giving a fresh approach to the widening theoretical discussion regarding the thesis of secularisation and modernity and...

ISBN: 9781474459242 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. This book shows how political and administrative forces shaped the way justice was applied in medieval Egypt. It introduces the model that evolved during the 7th to the 12th centuries, which involved four judicial institutions: the cadi; the mazalim (court of complaint); the police/shurta (responsible for criminal justice); and the hisba (Islamised market law) administrated by the muhtasib (market supervisor). Literary and non-literary sources are used to highlight how these institutions worked in real-time situations such as the famine of 1024 5, which posed tremendous challenges to the...

Justice and Peace in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
ISBN: 9781138024854 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book, the late Prof. Yaacov Bar-Siman-Tov argues that the failure of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process so far has been mainly the result of the inability of both sides to reach an agreed formula for linking justice to peace. The issues of justice and injustice are focused mainly on the outcomes of the 1947-1949 first Arab-Israeli War and specifically in the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem. The conflicting historical narratives of the two sides regarding the question of responsibility for the injustice done to the Palestinians turn the...

ISBN: 9781138514904 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Soviet Union executed an apparent about-face in its traditional anti-Zionist position when the Palestine issue came before the United Nations in 1947. In addition to political support at the UN from May 1947 to May 1949, important military assistance was rendered to the Jewish Palestinian Yishuv throughout 1948 by the Eastern bloc. Toward the end of that year, however, indications of change became apparent, and the Soviet Union began criticizing Israel.This book studies the USSR's attitude toward the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine in the immediate post-World War II period...
