Ganz allgemein betrachtet handelt es sich um ein ambivalentes Wechselverhaltnis (Schimank 2002: 15-18). Menschliche Individuen konnen nur in gesellschaftlicher Ordnung uberleben, deren Erhalt umgekehrt der Kreativitat des Handelns (Joas 1992) individueller Akteure bedarf.

It has long been acknowledged that Jews and Christians distinguished themselves through charity to the poor. Though ancient Greeks and Romans were also generous, they funded theaters and baths rather than poorhouses and orphanages. How might we explain this difference? In this significant reappraisal of charity in the biblical tradition, Gary Anderson argues that the poor constituted the privileged place where Jews and Christians met God. Though...

This book uncovers these processes, historically, as well as in contemporary behavior, and finds explanations for the various manifestations, in feeling and action, of 'being Jewish.' Boundaries and borders raise fundamental questions about the difference between...
