Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science and Hebrew Tradition Essays This Parthian policy is carried out with some dexterity; but, like other such manoeuvres in the face of a strong foe, it seems likely to end in disaster. It is easy to say, and sounds plausible, that the Bible was not meant to teach anything but ethics and religion, and that its utterances on other matters are mere obiter dicta; it is also a specious suggestion that inspiration, filtering through human brains, must undergo a kind of fallibility contamination; and that this human impurity is responsible for any errors, the exist ence of which has to be admitted, however unwillingly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science and Hebrew Tradition Essays For more than a thousand years, the great majority of the most highly civilised and instructed nations in the world have confidently believed and passionately maintained that certain writings, which they entitle sacred, occupy a unique position in literature, in that they possess an authority, different in kind, and immeasurably superior in weight, to that of all other books. Age after age, they have held it to be an indisputable truth that, whoever may be the ostensible writers of the Jewish, Christian, and Mahometan scriptures, God Himself is their real author; and, since their conception of the attribues of the Deity excludes the possibility of error and - at least in relation to this particular matter - of wilful deception, they have drawn the logical conclusion that the denier of the accuracy of any statement, the questioner of the binding force of any command, to be found in these documents is not merely a fool, but a blasphemer. From the point of view of mere reason he grossly blunders; from that of religion he grievously sins. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Some Chapters on Judaism and the Science of Religion Classic Reprint written by Louis Grossmann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Chapters on Judaism and the Science of Religion Religion is the truth that absorbs all other truths. It is the highest synthesis, the science of all sciences. All attainments are subservient to the purposes of progressing culture. The aggregate experiences of mankind are on the line of the universal end to emancipate the soul. In this sense all the activities of humanity in their vast variety and multiform energies are in the employ of religion. For religion is the name of the final and much desired state, when man will be sovereign of himself, as far as he can, and master of the tools of his life. I have attempted in the following pages to sketch a few agreements which are already noticeable between historical Judaism and the present science of religion. I mean to do a humble task, conscious of the magnitude of the problem. I am content with suggesting merely the thought, that the science of religion is the science of Judaism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of the Talmud: An Essay Written for the Young Men's Hebrew Association of Philadelphia Under the Seleucidean kings of Syria, into whose hands Palestine fell after the death of Alexander of Macedon, the Jews, being cruelly oppressed and hindered in their religious rites and services, rose in revolt under the Maccabees and regained their independence, but, alas! Only for a short time. Jerusalem was shortly taken by Roman arms under Pompey, and Judea was soon afterward reduced to a Roman province. Several attempts were made by the brave Jews to shake off the yoke of the Romans, but it was impossible for them to withstand the most powerful empire that ever existed. So the temple was destroyed by Titus, and Jeru salem laid waste, and finally the population was decimated, exiled and taken into captivity under the Emperor Hadrian. During all these vicissitudes and changes of fortune which befell Israel from the time of the birth of the nation, the moral and religious life of the people grew slowly but steadily in strength, depth and breadth. The law which, according to tradition, was proclaimed to the people of Israel from Mount Sinai, remained for along time a dead letter, the people preferring the image of the golden calf, and the brazen serpent, and the service of Baal, Moloch and Ashtoreth, to the abstract idea of an unseen, unknow able, infinite and everlasting Supreme Being. All through the period of the Judges and during the greater portion of the reign of the Kings, the people continued to serve heathen gods and to sacrifice to them. But gradually dawn broke upon them and the light of a truer religion opened their eyes, and with the more enlightened belief came also purer ideas of morality and justice. The great prophets appeared in the arena. Isaiah, with his grand moral perceptions, his clear religious ideas, his divine gift of elo quence, spoke words which could not fail to pierce the hearts of the feeling, so that all in Israel who had eyes saw the light, and all who had ears heard the words of truth. Jeremiah in Jeru salem and Ezekiel in Babylon, and especially the great unknown prophet, whose divine speeches are attached to those of Isaiah, continued the work of teaching the people true religion and pure morals.

Download or read book When the Great Abyss Opened written by J. David Pleins and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Noah's flood is one of the best-loved and most often retold biblical tales, the inspiration for numerous children's books and toys, novels, and even films. Whether as allusion, archetype, or literal presence--the American landscape is peppered with "recreations" of the ark--the story of Noah's animals and the ark resonates throughout American culture and the world. While most think of Noah's ark as a dramatic myth, others are consumed by the quest for geological and archeological proof that the flood really occurred. Persistent rumors of a large vessel on the mountain of Ararat in Turkey, for instance, have led many pilgrims and explorers over the centuries to visit that fabled peak. Recent finds suggest that there may have been a catastrophic flood on the shores of the Black Sea some 7,600 years ago. Is this then the reality behind the ancient tale of Noah? More to the point, why does it matter? What does the story of the Flood mean to us and why does it so stir the collective imagination? When the Great Abyss Opened examines the history of our attempts to understand the Flood, from medieval Jewish and Christian speculation about the physical details of the ark to contemporary efforts to link it to scientific findings. Unraveling the mythical dimensions of the parallel Mesopotamian flood stories and their deeper social and psychological significance, J. David Pleins also considers the story's positive uses in theology and moral instruction. Noah's tale, however, has also been invoked as a means of justifying exclusion, racism, and anti-homosexual views. Pro-slavery advocates, for example, used the story of Noah's Curse on Ham's son Canaan to rationalize the enslavement of Africans. Throughout this expansive and lively book, Pleins sheds new light on our continuing attempts to understand this ancient primal myth. Noah's Flood, he contends, offers a unique case study that illuminates the timeless and timely question of how fact and faith relate.

Download or read book Three Questions of Formative Judaism written by Jacob Neusner and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The academic study of Judaism requires a systematic inquiry into the history, literature, and religion—and eventually the theology—as revealed in the historical documents themselves. Under this premise, Three Questions of Formative Judaism encounters the canonical writings of Judaism in the context of their creation at a certain time and place. How something is said thus becomes as important as what is said. Bringing nearly fifty years of research to bear on these fundamental questions, Jacob Neusner challenges his readers to face the difficult, often unasked or neglected questions about the nature, background, and purposes of Rabbinic Judaism and rewards them with an enriched understanding and a stronger foundation for tackling the even more elusive questions concerning the theology of formative Judaism.
