Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moral Life of the Hebrews This book undertakes to present a history of the development of Hebrew morals as recorded in the Old Testament. That there was a historical development none can well deny. The aim here is to present that history as objectively as possible. The facts are for the most part left to speak for themselves. The literary sources containing the record of this moral progress are treated in the probable order of their origin. The presentation might have been made more vivid and vital if space had permitted a closer integration of the moral practices and ideals with the contemporary social and economic conditions amid which they functioned. The social aspects of ethical problems and situations have not been wholly ignored. But there is still need of, and room for, a good scientific handbook on the sociology of the Hebrews. The Hebrew point of view always coupled morals with religion. They were one and inseparable. The outstanding characteristic of Hebrew religion is the fact that it gave free course to the moral forces latent within it. None of the Hebrew thinkers ever separated morals from religion. It was the moral passion of the Hebrew religion that gave it its dynamic. Ethics and theology advanced together, each supporting the other. The great contribution of the prophets was that they ethicized the religion of their people. Their crowning achievement was ethical monotheism.

Download or read book Life Lessons from Hebrews written by Max Lucado and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish believers were torn between their new faith in Jesus and their old ways rooted in Old Testament routines and rituals. They were tempted to go back to their familiar life that seemed "good enough." But the author of Hebrews shows that when Jesus came, "the best got better." The unknown author of Hebrews skillfully compares these believers' old ways and their new faith, arguing that Christ is better in every way. He focuses on Jesus, his effective ministry, and his ultimate sacrifice, showing us that absolutely nothing compares to our incomparable Christ. As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of Hebrews, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book: Jesus Christ brought about a whole new way of connecting with and following God. Jesus is our compassionate high priest. Faith is the connector between this life and the next. The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God's Word. Each lesson includes: An opening reflection on the Bible book you're studying. Background information to deepen your understanding of the cultural and historical setting. An excerpt of the text (from the NIV and the NKJV). Exploration questions with plenty of room to write your own thoughts and notes. Inspirational thoughts from Max as well as a closing takeaway for further reflection. The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
Download or read book What Are Biblical Values written by John J. Collins and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Bible actually say about many of today's most contentious moral issues? "For drawing attention to the relevant scriptures and for guidance in recognizing what are and aren't valid interpretations of them, Collins' pertinent brief is beyond praiseworthy."--Booklist (starred review) "Collins pours a lifetime of scholarship into this study of what the Bible says about controversial ethical topics. It's highly readable, and it's honest."--Jane McBride, Christian Century Many people today claim that their positions on various issues are grounded in biblical values, and they use scriptural passages to support their claims. But the Bible was written over the course of several hundred years and contains contradictory positions on many issues. The Bible seldom provides simple answers; it more often shows the complexity of moral problems. Can we really speak of "biblical values"? In this eye-opening book, one of the world's leading biblical scholars argues that when we read the Bible with care, we are often surprised by what we find. Examining what the Bible actually says on a number of key themes, John Collins covers a vast array of topics, including the right to life, gender, the role of women, the environment, slavery and liberation, violence and zeal, and social justice. With clarity and authority, he invites us to dramatically reimagine the basis for biblical ethics in the world today.

Download or read book A Best Selling Hebrew Book of the Modern Era written by David B. Ruderman and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of a single book sheds light on the beginnings of modern Jewish thought In 1797, in what is now the Czech Republic, Pinḥas Hurwitz published Book of the Covenant. Nominally an extended commentary on a sixteenth-century kabbalist text, Pinḥas’s publication was in fact a compendium of scientific knowledge and a manual of moral behavior. Its popularity stemmed from its ability to present the scientific advances and moral cosmopolitanism of its day in the context of Jewish legal and mystical tradition. Describing the latest developments in science and philosophy in the sacred language of Hebrew, Hurwitz argued that an intellectual understanding of the cosmos was not at odds with but actually key to achieving spiritual attainment. In A Best-Selling Hebrew Book of the Modern Era, David Ruderman offers a literary and intellectual history of Hurwitz’s book and its legacy. Hurwitz not only wrote the book, but also was instrumental in selling it, and his success ultimately led to the publication of more than forty editions in Hebrew, Ladino, and Yiddish. Ruderman provides a multidimensional picture of the book and the intellectual tradition it helped to inaugurate. Complicating accounts that consider modern Jewish thought to be the product of a radical break from a religious, mystical past, Ruderman shows how, instead, a complex continuity shaped Jewish society’s confrontation with modernity.
Download or read book The Jewish Moral Virtues written by Eugene B. Borowitz and published by Jewish Publication Society. This book was released on 1999 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish Moral Virtues is a book of musar - practical ethical wisdom applied to contemporary life. In form and purpose, it is parallel to William Bennett's bestselling Book of Virtues. Authors Borowitz and Schwartz synthesize traditional scholarship from a wide range of Jewish sources with personal insights into modern ethical dilemmas. Traditionally, Jewish ethical teachers have been concerned with law or general guidance for a good life, i.e., virtue, rather than philosophical meditations upon specific issues. This collection is structured upon the twenty-four virtues selected by a thirteenth-century Roman Jew, Yehiel ben Yekutiel, including trustworthiness, lovingkindness, compassion, generosity, charity, humility, and pure-heartedness, among others, and expands to include wisdom from the ancient rabbis, medieval philosophers, and Yehiel's successors over the past seven centuries.
