ISBN: 9780765807472 / Angielski / Miękka / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Judaism has long derived its identity from its sacred books.

In preserving one of the activities of Jewish life, Samuel C. Heilman argues, these are the genuine -People of the Book.- For two years, Heilman participated in and observed five study circles in...

Maimonides on the Decline of the Generations and the Nature of Rabbinic Authority
ISBN: 9780791429228 / Angielski / Miękka / 137 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Moses Maimonides, medieval Judaism's leading legist and philosopher, and a figure of central importance for contemporary Jewish self-understanding, held a view of Judaism which maintained the authority of the Talmudic rabbis in matters of Jewish law while allowing for free and open inquiry in matters of science and philosophy.

The equality presented here is not...
