Ex-library with external labels removed; exceedingly clean and sharp with sound binding and no evidence of use. Shipped professionally in a box. 'The Encyclopedia of Midrash ? Biblical Interpretation in Formative Judaism, provides a systematic account of biblical interpretation in Judaism, from well before the second century BCE through the end of the seventh century CE. While emphasizing the Rabbinic literature, it also covers interpretation of Scripture in a number of distinct canons, ranging from the Targumic literature and Dead Sea Scrolls to the New Testament and Church Fathers. The encyclopedia comprises fifty-six essays written by thirty scholars, representing the leading figures in the study of ancient Judaism and biblical interpretation in North America, Europe, and the State of Israel. Alongside a general introduction to Rabbinic Midrash and its traits, including the theoretical questions of definition, origins, theology, hermeneutics, genre-criticism, and language, the encyclopedia addresses specific topics of concern in the study of scriptural interpretation. How Rabbinic midrashic documents that focus on specific books of Scripture read those specific books, the theology expressed by Rabbinic midrashic compilations, and the historical context in which Rabbinic Midrash took shape all are treated. Beyond these central issues in understanding Rabbinic Midrash, the encyclopedia treats interpretations of Scripture that came to closure prior to, or outside of, the framework of Rabbinic Midrash: Hellenistic Jewish Midrash, Josephus, Pseudo-Philo, Jubilees, as well as to the New Testament, Karaite and Samaritan writings, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Encyclopedia of Midrash provides readers with a depth and breadth of treatment of Midrash unavailable in any other single source. Through the writings of top scholars in each of their fields, it sets out the current state of the question for each of the many topics discussed in its pages.' (Publisher's blurb).…

Condition: Gut. 2402 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - The Encyclopedia of Judaism provides a full and reliable account of Judaism, the religion, its diverse history, literature, beliefs, observances, practices, and its place in the context of society and culture from ancient Israelite times to our own dav. By reason of its antiquity, influence on other world religions, power to persuade the faithful of its truth, and contemporary vitality, Judaism demands sustained attention. This encyclopedia speaks to anyone interested in religion: in understanding what religion - viewed through the example of Judaism - is. It is written for people of all ages and backgrounds, and not only for scholars in the subject, or practitioners of Judaism or any other religion. The work offers neither a defense nor a critique of Judaism, or religion in general. For its distinguished international board of contributors, the editors have sought a broad and representative variety of viewpoint so that objectivity and academic authority characterize the presentations. The encyclopedia is the work of many experts from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, continental Europe, Australia, and the Middle East, and has more than 120 signed, self-contained, and cross-referenced essays and articles. It encompasses the main types of Judaic religious faith and life, and presents these types in the light of their history, literature, beliefs, theology, philosophy, and contemporary practice. The history of Judaism is laid out both by chronological periods and geographical regions. The holy books from ancient Israelite Scripture to the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jewish mysticism, ethics, law, synagogue design, relation to other religions, politics, natural sciences, sociology, and anthropology -- all are expounded in detail. Topics of acute contemporary interest -- medical ethics women and Judaism, Zionism, and othei are also treated in a comprehensive manner. In short, The Encyclopedia of Judaism is a definitive work on what is : living religion, and not merely an ethnic culture or a historical tradition. - Jacob Neusner is Distinguished Research Professor of Religious Studies a the University of South Florida and Professor of Religion at Bard College. - Alan J. Avery-Peck is Kraft-Hiatt Professor of Judaic Studies at the College of the Holy Cross. - William Scott Green is Philip S.
