Paperback. Condition: Very Good. One of the major contributions to Judaism in our time by Martin Buber is the distinction he stressed between religion and religiosity. Religion is the institutional, carefully structured, formal aspects of the faith community containing established doctrine and mandated action. Religiosity is the inner meaning, the irreducible spirit, the essence of the doctrine and practices of the faith community, that which constitutes the essential purpose of the institutional structure. Thus, in Buber's landmark unpacking of the life and literature of Hasidism, he pointed out that what the tzaddikim (spiritual leaders) considered decisive in the observance of religious ritual was the intent and spirit, the aim of the action, the inner purpose of the panoply of practices the faithful were engaged in. Each person was obliged to unite action with its purpose and thus develop wholeness as a truly religious personality. This book is designed to excavate, as it were, the religiosity embedded in a selection of Judaism's faith associations and religious practices.…

One of the major contributions to Judaism in our time by Martin Buber is the distinction he stressed between "religion" and "religiosity."

Paperback. Condition: New. Revised. New tightly bound softcover in printed wraps. 8vo.(6 x 0.7 x 9 inches) Clean text free of marks or underling. Cover art by Louis Schecter. Includes b&w photos, bibliography, and an index. 269 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. In this revised version of his 2018 book, The Idea of Monotheism, Jack Shechter offers a detailed clarification of the ideational development within each of the tenets that flow from the Oneness of God that is the core of the monotheistic idea as it has evolved over the centuries. The Idea of Monotheism historically traces the concept of God as it emerged in the ongoing life of the people in specific time periods; it reflects the newly perceived perspectives about the deity due to changing times, locales, and climates of opinion. However, so profoundly One is God in Judaism, these transformations had no effect whatever on this eternally uniform substance. Thus, what man did over time was to uncover God's true nature; he unraveled that which was always there--the nonexistence of other gods and His universality.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The Egyptian Social Contract explores the intricacies of the relationship between the state and its citizens, from the establishment of the semi-independent Egyptian nation in 1922 until the 2011 Uprising. The book studies how and why a social contract that had been reformed in the aftermath of World War II became the core of state citizen relations under President Nasser. It further explores the long and tortuous search for a new social contract in Egypt since the 1970s.Relli Shechter looks at how this social contract channelled socioeconomic development over time, creating an Egyptian middle-class society. Shechter probes a political economy in which class vision and interests in development intertwined with the rise and entrenchment of authoritarianism. The perseverance of this social contract has mostly inhibited socioeconomic and political reforms, or the making of a new social contract, in Egypt. Such reforms would have challenged Egypt's ruling elite, and no less so its middle-class society.…
