Title: The Stranger in Ancient and Mediaeval Jewish Tradition: Papers Read at the First Meeting of the JBSCE, Piliscsaba, 2009 Author: Xeravits, Geza G Jan Dusek (eds) Publisher: De Gruyter; Publication Date: 2010 Hardcover; ISBN: 9783110222036 Volumes: 1; Pages: viii, 251 List Price in Cloth: $105.00 Our price: $105.00 (Add to Cart button is at the bottom of this page) This volume presents selected papers read at the first meeting of the Society for Jewish and Biblical Studies in Central Europe, in Piliscsaba, Hungary, February 2009, but does not publish the proceedings of this meeting (for a clarification see here). The papers investigate various aspects of the concept "Stranger" in Jewish tradition, from the Hebrew Bible to Mediaeval Jewish thought. The bulk of the material focuses on Early Jewish literature, which mirrors an intensive interaction with the Hellenistic system of thought, and the development of concurring Jewish interpretations of traditional values.The papers of the volume provide insightful case studies about the formation of Jewish identity in diverse periods of Israelite and Jewish history, as well as the different attitudes to strangers, being either outsiders, or belonging to opposing sects of Judaism itself. The reader finds essays of historical, literary, and hermeneutical attention; of interest also to scholars of various forms of ancient and mediaeval Judaism.Prices subject to change. Shipping costs will be added. Current pricing is based on the exchange |
