The record is not that of the life of a\r\nnation but of the scattered remnants of a race. It was inevitable that\r\nunder the influence of their varied environment, the survivors of the\r\nJewish race should develop very different beliefs and characteristics.\r\nThe result is that many different currents of thought and shades of belief\r\nare reflected in the literature of this period; some of it is dross, but\r\nmuch of it is purest gold. While the period following the destruction of\r\nJerusalem was a reflective and a retrospective age in which the teaching\r\nof the earlier priests and prophets gained wide acceptance, it was also a\r\ncreative era. Fully half of the literature of the Old Testament and all of\r\nthe important writings of the Apocrypha come from these tragic five\r\ncenturies. Although the historical records are by no means complete, the\r\ngreat crises in Israel's life are illuminated by such remarkable\r\nhistorical writings as the memoirs of Nehemiah, the first book of\r\nMaccabees, and the detailed histories of Josephus.\nThe majority of the writings, however, reveal above all the soul of the\r\nrace. Out of its anguish and suffering came the immortal poems found in\r\nIsaiah 40-66, the book of Job, and the Psalter. Instead of the distinctly\r\nnationalistic point of view, which characterizes practically all of the\r\nwritings of the pre-exilic period, the interest becomes individual and the\r\noutlook universal. During these centuries Israel's prophets, priests,\r\nand sages became not merely teachers of the nation but of humanity.\r\nConspicuous among the great teachers of his day stands the noble sage,\r\nJesus the son of Sirach, who gleaned out and presented in effective form\r\nthat which was most vital in the earlier teaching of his race. In his\r\nbroad, simple faith in God and man, in his emphasis on deeds and\r\ncharacter, as well as ceremonial, and in his practical philosophy of life\r\nhe was a worthy forerunner of the Great Teacher whose name he bore.\nThis period represents the culmination and fruition of the divine\r\nInfluences at work in Israel's early history. It was during this period\r\nthat Judaism was born and attained its full development, Israel accepted\r\nthe absolute rule of the written law, and the scribes succeeded the earlier\r\nprophets and sages. Out of the heat and conflict of the Maccabean\r\nstruggle the parties of the Pharisees and Sadducees sprang into existence\r\nand won their commanding place in the life of Judaism. Hence this period\r\nis the natural historical introduction to the study of the birth and early\r\ndevelopment of Christianity. It is also the link that binds the revelation\r\nfound in the Old Testament to that of the New.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 11701 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Kent, Charles Foster \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Mar 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Kent, Charles Foster,1867-1925 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216295723165,"sku":"gb-11701-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/11701.jpg?v=1671344400"},{"product_id":"the-covenanters-of-damascus-a-hitherto-unknown-jewish-sect-gb-31960","title":"The Covenanters of Damascus A Hitherto Unknown Jewish Sect","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Covenanters of Damascus; A Hitherto Unknown Jewish Sect\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nAmong the Hebrew manuscripts recovered in 1896 from the\nGenizah of an old synagogue at Fostat, near Cairo, and now in\nthe Cambridge University Library, England, were found eight\nleaves of a Hebrew manuscript which proved to be fragments of\na book containing the teaching of a peculiar Jewish sect; a single\nleaf of a second manuscript, in part parallel to the first, in part\nsupplementing it, was also discovered.

But what the exact\r\nnature of the change is, and what we are to deduce\r\nfrom it, is a matter of debate, for the facts are only\r\nknown to professional students and to a few others\r\nwho may have been led to interest themselves in the\r\nsubject. With some, for instance, the idea prevails\r\nthat the Old Testament has been so discredited by\r\nmodern research that its religious significance is now\r\npractically worthless. Others believe that the results\r\narrived at are untrue, and regard them as the outcome\r\nof wicked attacks made upon the veracity of the\r\nWord of God by men whose scholarship is a cloak for\r\ntheir sinister designs or a mask of their incapacity\r\nto comprehend its spiritual message. There is perhaps\r\na middle course open to some who have found\r\na message of God to their souls in the Old Testament,\r\nand who, on hearing that the authorship of this book\r\nhas been questioned or the historicity of that passage\r\nassailed, are unmoved, because they believe that itviii\r\ndoes not matter who wrote the Pentateuch or the\r\nPsalms so long as through these documents they\r\nhear the voice of the living Word of God. Here\r\nthen is a subject on which there exists a distressing\r\nconfusion, and, moreover, a subject in which ignorance\r\nplays no small part. Save with a few devout souls who\r\nhave made a long and continuous study of the Scriptures,\r\nit may be doubted whether there is any widespread\r\nknowledge of the actual message of the Old\r\nTestament, even among Christian people. There\r\nare certainly many people willing to defend the\r\nauthority of the Bible who spend very little time in\r\nreading it. The favourite Psalms and the evangelical\r\npassages of Isaiah are probably well known, and\r\nbeyond this there is but the knowledge gained in\r\nearly days, from which stand out in the memory\r\nthe personalities of Samson and Saul, David and\r\nGoliath, and Daniel in the lion's den, together with\r\nthe impressive stories of the Flood, the destruction\r\nof Sodom and Gomorrah, the crossing of the Red\r\nSea, and the fall of Jericho. A very little is probably\r\ncarried away from the public reading of the Scriptures\r\nin places of worship. It cannot be said that this\r\nacquaintance conveys any real impression of the\r\nmagnificent message that lies embedded in these\r\nthirty-nine books which go to make up the Old\r\nTestament. Now whatever harm may be charged to\r\nthe modern methods, it can at least be claimed thatix\r\nneglected portions have been carefully studied, the\r\nmeaning of obscure passages discovered, and much\r\nof importance and interest brought to light; but\r\nmore than this, it has been discovered that the\r\nessential message of the Old Testament lies largely\r\napart from those narratives and personalities that\r\nimpress the superficial reader, and rather in the\r\nrecord of a gradual development of the conception of\r\nGod and of His purpose in calling Israel to be the\r\nrecipient of His self-disclosure. It has been found\r\nthat the striking figures of the landscape are of less\r\nimportance than the road that winds among them\r\nalong which revelation moves to its final goal.\nIt may be objected that the new inspiration, which\r\nso many who have studied the Scriptures by these\r\nmethods claim to have felt, throws quite a new\r\nemphasis on our conception of the Old Testament\r\nand is revolutionary of all that we have been accustomed\r\nto believe concerning it; that the methods\r\nare such as could not legitimately be applied to the\r\nWord of God, and are the products of a criticism\r\nwhich is puffed up with a sense of its own superiority;\r\nand that the results are discreditable to the Old\r\nTestament, since they allege that some of the narratives\r\nare unhistorical, some passages and even whole books\r\nunauthentic, and traditions on which the gravest\r\nissues have been staked shown to have nothing more\r\nthan a legendary basis. There is much in thesex\r\nobjections that is natural, but much that is misunderstanding.\r\nIt is true that the contribution which the\r\nOld Testament makes to religion is estimated differently\r\nfrom what it was fifty years ago, and it must be\r\nallowed that this brings a charge of having misunderstood\r\nthe Scriptures against generations of scholars\r\nand saints. But it is admitted that all matters of\r\nknowledge are open to misunderstanding. It is no\r\nargument against the conception that the earth moves\r\nround the sun, that the contrary idea was held in\r\nother ages. We know that the understanding of the\r\nOld Testament has been obscured, often by those\r\nwho ought to have been the greatest authorities on\r\nits meaning. Jesus read into the Scriptures a meaning\r\nunrecognised by the authorities of His day, and\r\ndealt with them in a fashion that was regarded as\r\nrevolutionary. To some of the Scriptures He appealed\r\nas to a final authority, but others He regarded as\r\nimperfect and only suited to the time in which they\r\nwere written. The Jews of His day venerated every\r\nletter of the sacred writings, and regarded the very\r\ncopies of the Law as sacred to the touch, and yet on\r\ntheir understanding of the Scriptures they rejected\r\nthe mission and message of Jesus. Christian scholarship\r\nhas undoubtedly followed rather after the Rabbis\r\nthan after Christ. The message of the Old Testament\r\nthat the new methods have made clear\r\ncertainly appears to be more in conformity with thexi\r\nSpirit of Christ than with that of His opponents, and if\r\nthis is revolutionary then it is no new thing; religion\r\nalways moves along such lines.\nGreat offence has been caused and insuperable\r\nprejudice aroused among many by the name under\r\nwhich these methods have become known. The\r\nname, \"higher criticism,\" conveys to most people a\r\nsuggestion of carping fault-finding and an assumption\r\nof superiority. This is due to an entire misunderstanding\r\nof a technical term. Criticism is\r\nnothing more than the exercise of the faculty of\r\njudgment, and, moreover, judgment that ought to\r\nbe perfectly fair. The sinister suggestion that is\r\nconveyed in the word is due to the fact that our\r\ncriticisms are so often biassed by personal prejudices.\r\nBut this only condemns our faults, and not the\r\nmethod. \"Higher\" criticism does not mean any\r\nassumption of superiority, but is simply a term\r\nused to distinguish it from \"lower\" criticism. The\r\ncriticism that endeavours to ascertain the original\r\ntext by a comparison of the various documents\r\navailable is called lower, and that which deals\r\nwith matters higher up the stream of descent by\r\nwhich the writings have been conveyed to us, namely,\r\nmatters of date and authorship, is called higher\r\ncriticism. It might well be called literary and historical\r\ncriticism, in distinction from textual criticism.\r\nIt employs historical methods, and uses the simplexii\r\ntests of comparison and contemporaneity. For the\r\nunderstanding of a particular age, it prefers those\r\ndocuments that describe the times in which they\r\nwere written, and give indirect evidence, rather than\r\nthose histories which were written long after the event\r\nand which reveal a purpose other than the strictly\r\nhistorical. Fortunately, we have in the Old Testament\r\nmany such contemporary and indirect witnesses\r\nin the writings of the Prophets. They are\r\nnot consciously writing history, but they tell us\r\nindirectly what the practices of their day were, and\r\nespecially what religious ideas were prevalent; for\r\nit is these things that they feel called upon to attack.\r\nWith these reliable standards we can compare the\r\nregular histories, which were necessarily written at a\r\nmuch later age, and very often to serve some religious\r\npurpose.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 45952 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Orchard, W.

I have left out much that\nwould necessarily be included in a system, and confined\nmyself to a limited portion of what can be proved to be\nthe matter of the Hebrew myths. Even within the actual\ndomain of my labours, I was not anxious to subject the\nextant narratives in all their minutest features to mythological\nanalysis. The application of the certain results of\nthe science of Mythology in general to a domain hitherto\nalmost ignored with reference to this subject, could only\nbe accomplished by some self-limitation on the part of the\nauthor; and my immediate task was only to show that\nSemitism in general, and Hebrew in particular, could not\nbe exceptions to the laws of mythological enquiry established\non the basis of psychology and the science of language,\nand that it is possible from Semitism itself, on\npsychological and philological principles, to construct a\nscientific Semitic Mythology.\nBy blindly tracing out copious matters of detail, the\ninvestigator of myths is very easily and unconsciously\nseduced to the slippery ground of improbabilities; and\ntherefore I preferred, in the first instance, to enlarge only\non subjects on which I was confident of being able to present\nwhat was self-evident, and in these only, so to speak,\nto reveal the first cellular formations, from which later\ngrowths were produced, and to leave the analysis of the\nentire substance, and of the separate elements which complete\nthe conception of the mythical figures, to a future\ntime, when the science will have gained a firmer footing\neven on the Semitic domain, and will have less distrust\nand misunderstanding to contend against. I am myself\nresponsible for this limitation of the subject, in the service\nof which, encouraged by kind friends, I resolved to publish\nthe following pages. In mythological affairs I acknowledge\nmyself a pupil of the school established on the\nAryan domain by Ad. Kuhn and Max Mller. Only in\ncertain points, which, however, occasionally touch upon\nfirst principles, I have been compelled to differ from the\nmasters of Comparative Mythology. It may be boldly\nasserted that, especially through Max Mllers literary\nlabours, Comparative Mythology and the Science of\nReligion have been added to those chapters of human\nknowledge with which certain borderlands of science cannot\ndispense, and which can claim to have become an essential\nportion of general culture.[2] This conviction must\nexcuse frequent copiousness of exposition, which I have\nadopted knowingly and intentionally. I have had in my\neye not only the small circle of professional mythologists\non the Aryan and other domains, but also the larger circle\nof educated readers who will be interested in learning\nhow the results of Comparative Mythology shape themselves\nwhen applied to Semitic nations. But, on the other\nhand, I must crave the indulgence of the latter readers,\nif I have not always succeeded (especially in the fifth\nchapter) in making my meaning as intelligible as I could\nwish. For it is a fact that the Semitic still remains\nfurther removed from the mind of educated society than\nthe Aryan, which, through the study of classical antiquity,\nhas so ensnared us from our school-days with its\nirresistible charms, that it can never cease to determine\nthe direction of our thought and action. Therefore I\nhave had resort to foreign examples, sometimes non-Semitic\ninstances from antiquity, sometimes instances\nfrom modern poets, for illustrations of particular assertions,\nwhich otherwise would appear improbable, but\ncould thus be brought nearer to the understanding.\nFrom the figures used by poets the wealth and variety of\nthe mythical apperception of the primeval man is truly\nelucidated. Here and there I have also permitted myself\nto make reference to Hungarian idioms, which was very\nnatural, as I originally composed this book in my Hungarian\nmother-tongue for the purpose of University lectures,\nand then translated it myself into German. Some\nparts of these essays have been already published in\nHungarian, in a different connexion and with special\nreference to linguistic results, in the first and second\nparts of Vol. XII. of the Nyelvtudomnyi Kzlemnyek\n(Philological Essays), edited by Paul Hunfalvy for the\nHungarian Academy of Sciences.\nIn adducing Aryan parallels, I am very far from\nthinking that where the Hebrew exhibits a striking similarity\nto something Aryan it has borrowed from the\nlatter, or that, as a recent scholar tried to make out, the\nHebrews themselves were originally Aryans, who afterwards\ntook a Semitic language and preserved their Aryan\nhabits of thought. I start from the conviction that the\nMyth is something universal, that the faculty of forming\nit cannot a priori be denied to any race as such, and that\nthe coincidence of mythical ideas and modes of expression\nis the result of the uniformity of the psychological process\nwhich is the foundation of the creation of myths in all\nraces; and this very uniformity of mythical ideas may\nconsequently serve to psychologists as an argument for\nthe thesis of the psychological uniformity of all races.[3]\nWhere no historical transference of myths can be proved,\nsays Bastian very justly,[4] the uniformity must be referred\nto the organic law of the growth of the mind, which will\neverywhere put forth similar products, corresponding and\nalike, but variously modified by surrounding influences.\nThe oldest history of paleography exhibits on the ideographic\nand figurative stage the most striking similarities\nin the modes of apperception belonging to nations of the\nmost various races. Lenormant says: Nous pourrions\nfaire voir, si nous voulions nous laisser aller  la tentation\ndentreprendre un petit trait de lcriture symbolique\nchez les diffrents peuples, comment certaines mtaphores\nnaturelles ont t conues spontanment par plusieurs\nraces diverses sans communication les unes avec les autres,\net comment, par suite, le mme symbole se retrouve avec\nle mme sens dans plusieurs systmes dorigine tout--fait\nindpendante. Lexemple le plus frappant peut-tre\nde ce genre est celui du symbole de labeille, qui, ainsi que\nnous venons de le dire, signifie Roi dans les hiroglyphes\ngyptiens, et se reconnat encore clairement dans le type\nle plus ancien de lidogramme dou du mme sens dans\nle cuniforme anarien.[5] The same lesson is taught by\nPrehistoric Archeology, the comparative study of which\namong the various races would present very instructive\nexamples. In our museums we see identical implements\nused by men of the most various races at the same primitive\nstage of civilisation,[6] yet in this case the idea of one\nhaving borrowed from another enters no ones head.\nWhy should we be surprised at meeting with the very\nsame phenomenon in Comparative Mythology?\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 48967 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Goldziher, Ignác \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 15, 2015 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Martineau, R.

This doctrinal position affirms that the Bible is unlike all other books or collections of works in that it is free of error due to having been given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Tim. 3:16, 17). While no other text can claim this same unique authority, the Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, which played a crucial role in forming the worldview of the authors of the New Testament, who were not only familiar with it but quoted it in the New Testament, Epistle of Jude, Jude 1:14 15, and is attributed there to \"Enoch the Seventh from Adam\" (1 En 60:8). The text was also utilized by the community that originally collected and studied the Dead Sea Scrolls. While some churches today include Enoch as part of the biblical canon (for example the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church), other Christian denominations and scholars accept it only as having historical or theological non-canonical interest and frequently use or assigned it as supplemental materials within academic settings to help students and scholars discover or better understand cultural and historical context of the early Christian Church. The Book of Enoch provides commentators valuable insight into what many ancient Jews and early Christians believed when, God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets (Heb. 1:1). As Dr. Michael S. Heiser in the Introduction to his important book Reversing Hermon so powerfully notes: For those to whom 1 Enoch sounds unfamiliar, this is the ancient apocalyptic literary work known popularly (but imprecisely) as the Book of Enoch. Most scholars believe that 1 Enoch was originally written in Aramaic perhaps as early as the 3rd century B.C. The oldest fragments of the book were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls and dated to roughly the second century B.C. This places the book squarely in the middle of what scholars call the Second Temple Period (ca. 500 B.C. 70 A.D.), an era more commonly referred to as the Intertestamental Period. This book will use the more academic designation ( Second Temple Period ) [...] The Watcher story of 1 Enoch, as many readers will recall, is an expansion of the episode described in Genesis 6:1-4, where the sons of God (Hebrew: beney ha- elohim) came in to the daughters of man (Gen 6:4; ESV). Consequently, Watchers is the Enochian term of choice (among others) for the divine sons of God. While the story of this supernatural rebellion occupies scant space in Genesis, it received considerable attention during the Second Temple Period [...] The Enochian version of the events of Gen 6:1-4 preserves and transmits the original Mesopotamian context for the first four verses of the flood account. Every element of Gen 6:1-4 has a Mesopotamian counterpoint a theological target that provides the rationale for why these four verses wound up in the inspired text in the first place. Connections to that backstory can be found in the Old Testament, but they are scattered and unsystematically presented. This is not the case with Second Temple Jewish literature like 1 Enoch. Books like 1 Enoch preserve all of the Mesopotamian touchpoints with Gen 6:1-4 when presenting their expanded retelling of the events of that biblical passage. The Book of Enoch is therefore intended to be an important supplemental resource for assisting serious researchers and students in the study of the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas R,Horn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Defender Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781738600526","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Thomas R \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47278800535709,"sku":"9781738600526","price":29.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_8b80a6ef-9bcd-421f-b837-256b763c9e57.jpg?v=1759858193"},{"product_id":"mans-search-for-meaning-gift-edition-9780807060100","title":"Man's Search for Meaning: Gift Edition","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe bestselling Holocaust memoir about finding purpose and strength in times of despair--selected as a Library of Congress \"10 Most Influential Books in America\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis stunning gift edition of \"one of the great books of our time\" \u003cb\u003e (Harold S.

He sees the magnificence of God and begins to preach to those around him against sin. He warns that the sinners will be winnowed and that God himself will appear on Mount Sinai to judge the humans as well as the fallen angels on Earth. Among the more controversial material within this text is the detailed account it gives of fallen angels on earth and their cursed offspring, the Nephilim. Azazel features heavily as the instigator of metal weapon production, the use of cosmetics and advocate of widespread promiscuity and fornication. In this book, the figure of Enoch is charged with the knowledge of God's chosen and brutal punishment for the Nephilim, their human mothers and their Angel fathers.The Book of Enoch is a pseudoepigraphal work (a work that claims to be by a biblical character). The Book of Enoch was not included in either the Hebrew or most Christian biblical canons, but could have been considered a sacred text by the sectarians. The original Aramaic version was lost until the Dead Sea fragments were discovered. This is a compilation of several separate works, most of which are apocalyptic. Its oldest portion is the \"Apocalypse of Weeks,\" written shortly before the Maccabean uprising of 167 BC against the Seleucids. The Ethiopic Book of Enoch is called a \"pseudepigraphical work,\" meaning one that is not included in any canon of scripture, outside of even the Apocrypha. The only complete extant version is an Ethiopic translation of a previous Greek translation made in Palestine from the original Hebrew or Aramaic. The Book of the Watcher, tells the story of fallen angels from Gen 6:1-4 that took wives, created the Nephilim, and taught advanced technology to mankind, ultimately leading to the great flood and their destruction. The Parables of Similitude, is an apocalyptic book about the Son of Man and the Ancient of Days. These ancient prophecies of Jesus are directly in line with what we find in the Bible, and are remarkably similar to The Book of Revelation. The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries is a detailed account of the stars and their functions. The Dream Visions is the prophecy of all human history, from the creation of mankind all the way to the end times and the final judgement. The past, present, and future are foretold in grand detail. The prophecy of weeks is similar to the prophecy structure in the book of Daniel. The Noah Fragments is the untold story of Noah from the Bible. We learn more about his mission to save all humanity and the struggles of his father Lamech and his grandfather Methuselah. Finally, included herein are all known fragments of The Book of Giants. Each work is independent, but all the works are bound by a common theme: the punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Enoch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e A.R.

Reading the Old Testament is not enough, writes Matthias Henze in this slender volume aimed at the student of the Bible. To understand the Jews of the Second Temple period, it's essential to read what they wrote-and what Jesus and his followers might have read-beyond the Hebrew scriptures. Henze introduces the four-century gap between the Old and New Testaments and some of the writings produced during this period (different Old Testaments, the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, the Dead Sea Scrolls); discusses how these texts have been read from the Reformation to the present, emphasizing the importance of the discovery of Qumran; guides the student's encounter with select texts from each collection; and then introduces key ideas found in specific New Testament texts that simply can't be understood without these early Jewish \"intertestamental\" writings-the Messiah, angels and demons, the law, and the resurrection of the dead. Finally, he discusses the role of these writings in the \"parting of the ways\" between Judaism and Christianity. Mind the Gap broadens curious students' perspectives on early Judaism and early Christianity and welcomes them to deeper study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthais Henze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Augsburg Fortress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506406428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Adult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Matthais Henze \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47280730734749,"sku":"9781506406428","price":58.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_34808274-59fa-44d0-bfe8-afead5c9a7c8.jpg?v=1759919738"},{"product_id":"the-book-of-enoch-9781602065680","title":"The Book of Enoch","description":"The early Christian Fathers and the Essenes of Qumran respected 'The Book of Enoch' but by the 4th century AD the text was deemed heretical and all extant copies were destroyed.

At a time of worldwide crisis, venerable answers to this question have become unsettled.

He shows how the founding of Israel has transformed Judaism itself over the last century--and explores the ongoing consequences of that transformation for all Jews, who find the meaning of their Jewishness and their views about Israel intertwined, no matter what those views are. And he examines the analogies between being Jewish and belonging to a large, messy family--a family that often makes its members crazy, but a family all the same.

From a spectrum of disciplines, state-of-the-art archeological breakthroughs, and fresh discoveries within scripture, he brings real evidence of a historical basis for the exodus -- the history behind the story.

But women have played a role in Jewish religious leadership from the days of the Bible and even before. Miriam the Prophetess and Deborah the Judge are just the two most prominent of these women, most of whose names are lost to history. The Hebrew Priestess tells the stories of these women, often reading between the lines of the Bible and Talmud to rediscover the women that rabbinic editors tried to erase. The authors bring a unique vantage point: They are founders of the Kohenet Institute, which trains Jewish women as religious leaders - as Hebrew priestesses. They believe the spiritual gifts of Jewish women cannot be incorporated into Judaism unless women explore the Divine through their own lens. The Kohenet Institute offers an embodied, ecstatic earth-based approach to Jewish spiritual practice and leadership. The Hebrew Priestess weaves together a careful examination of historical antecedents of these new priestesses, along with the personal experiences of women who embarked on this new path of Jewish priestesshood. The Hebrew Priestess delineates 13 models of spiritual leadership - among them prophetess, weaver, drummer, shrinekeeper, midwife, mother, maiden, witch, and fool - and shows how each model was manifest in ancient times, its continuation through Jewish history, and how women in our day are following that path. Finally, it shows how you can incorporate part of that path into your own life. Ambitious, erudite, practical, and deeply personal, the Hebrew Priestsess offers a deep connection to Jewish history and to profound holy experiences today. \"A very readable and much-needed book!\" --Starhawk \"An extraordinary and amazing work.\" -Alicia Ostriker \"A book to savor.\" --Max Dashu \"The articulation of my dreams and longings.\" -Rabbi Shefa Gold \"Read this book, but don't stop there-live it as well!\" -Rabbi Rami Shapiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Hammer,Taya Shere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Yehuda Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934730461","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Jill Hammer \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47286997876893,"sku":"9781934730461","price":52.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_6c0e5663-c11f-427c-a70a-bffe7098d0be.jpg?v=1760032139"},{"product_id":"the-newish-jewish-encyclopedia-from-abraham-to-zabars-and-everything-in-between-9781579658939","title":"The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia: From Abraham to Zabar's and Everything in Between","description":"\u003cb\u003eNamed one of \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e's Best Religion \u0026amp; Spirituality Books of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn Unorthodox Guide to \u003ci\u003eEverything\u003c\/i\u003e Jewish\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Deeply knowing, highly entertaining, and just a little bit irreverent, this unputdownable encyclopedia of all things Jewish and Jew-\u003ci\u003eish \u003c\/i\u003ecovers culture, religion, history, habits, language, and more.

And he examines the analogies between being Jewish and belonging to a large, messy family--a family that often makes its members crazy, but a family all the same.

Julius describes Abraham's life as two separate lives, and as a version of the collective life of the Jewish people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Abraham's first life is an early adulthood of questioning the polytheism of his home city of Ur Kasdim until its ruler, Nimrod, condemns him to death and he is rescued, he believes, by a miracle. In his second life, Abraham's focus is no longer on critique but rather on conversion and on his leadership over his growing household, until God's command that he sacrifice his son Isaac. This test, the Akedah (or \"Binding\"), ends with another miracle, as he believes, but as Julius argues, it is also a catastrophe for Abraham. The Akedah represents for him an unsurpassed horizon--and in Jewish life thereafter. This book focuses on Abraham as leader of the first Jewish project, Judaism, and the unresolvable, insurmountable crisis that the Akedah represents--both in his leadership and in Judaism itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Julius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 6.24w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300266801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony Julius\u003c\/b\u003e is deputy chairman of the international law firm Mishcon de Reya and a professor in the Faculty of Laws, University College London.
