Download or read book A Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud and Hebraica written by John Lightfoot and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-13 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary on the New Testament by John Lightfoot is a unique addition to the studious Christian's library. With the Gospels written within a first century Jewish context, some of the meaning, nuance and hidden reference is lost upon the modern reader. Within these pages, Lightfoot uses the Talmud (a main text of history, tradition, ethics and scriptural commentary in Judaism) and other Judaic sources, to bring cultural background and historical flavor to the familiar verses of the Gospels, giving them new life and new insight. Though the author passed away before the full completion of this epic work, "A Commentary of the New Testament from the Talmud and Hebraica" proves to be an invaluable tool for bringing fresh light upon those obsure years of the first century. [This edition contains the entirety of the verse-by-verse commentary of the Gospels from the original work, but omits the "Chorographical Details," being non-commentary notes about the regions and districts of Israel.]

Download or read book Secularizing the Sacred written by Alec Mishory and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As historical analyses of Diaspora Jewish visual culture blossom in quantity and sophistication, this book analyzes 19th-20th-century developments in Jewish Palestine and later the State of Israel. In the course of these approximately one hundred years, Zionist Israelis developed a visual corpus and artistic lexicon of Jewish-Israeli icons as an anchor for the emerging “civil religion.” Bridging internal tensions and even paradoxes, artists dynamically adopted, responded to, and adapted significant Diaspora influences for Jewish-Israeli purposes, as well as Jewish religious themes for secular goals, all in the name of creating a new state with its own paradoxes, simultaneously styled on the Enlightenment nation-state and Jewish peoplehood.

Download or read book View of the Hebrews written by Ethan Smith and published by Left of Brain Onboarding Pty Limited. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, it was a common belief that Native Americans were the descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. Ethan Smith wrote on this topic, and in so doing, challenged the dismissal of the Indigenous Americans by European settlers. Smith used biblical scripture, similarities in the Hebrew and Native American languages and their name for God, and other points of evidence to prove the connection between Israel and the First Nations. From there he showed how the reunited Hebrew tribes would be restored to Zion before the end of the world. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of Smith's book is that it is said to have influenced the Book of Mormon, which was published about seven years after later. As a child, Smith moved away from religion after his parents died but found his way back before he turned 20 and worked in the ministry until his death. Smith wrote several books while serving in the ministry in which he explored prophecies and baptism, among other subjects. But this book remains one of the most controversial of all his publications.
