Hebrew Religion

"Chi legge l'Antico Testamento con la mente disincantata e vi si avvicina con l'atteggiamento sereno che avrebbe verso qualsiasi libro scritto dall'umanità, non ha alcuna difficoltà a cogliere l'evidenza dei fatti."

The book of Hebrews can be intimidating for modern-day Christians due to its connection to Old Testament text. However, once understood, this New Testament epistle offers great insights into the superiority and sufficiency of Jesus―rightly justifying his place as high priest. In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, scholar Dennis E. Johnson highlights the main biblical-theological themes of Hebrews. Johnson explores how Jesus fulfills perfect priesthood by becoming the covenant mediator and the trailblazer who leads his people into a better inheritance.

Good Book is what happens when a regular guy actually reads the book on which his religion, his culture, and his world are based. Along the way, he grapples with the most profound theological questions: Does God prefer obedience or good deeds? And the most unexpected ones: Why are so many women in the Bible prostitutes? Why does God love bald men so much? Is Samson really that stupid? Good Book is an irreverent, enthralling journey through the world's most important work of literature.

Was God being ironic in commanding Eve not to eat fruit from the tree of wisdom? Carolyn J. Sharp suggests that many stories in the Hebrew Scriptures may be ironically intended. Deftly interweaving literary theory and exegesis, Sharp illumines the power of the unspoken in a wide variety of texts from the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Writings. She argues that reading with irony in mind creates a charged and open rhetorical space in the texts.

זה סיפור מסתורי למדי, על גיורה של ממלכה עתיקה — סיפור שעובד מחדש על ידי רבי יהודה הלוי באחד מספרי הפילוסופיה המקוריים ביותר בתולדות המסורת היהודית. זה סיפור פשוט למדי, על מלך אובד דרך, ועל חבר חכם שמתווה לו דרך חדשה — חברים שחולקים איתו תובנות שהיו חשובות בזמנם, אך שהן חשובות לא פחות בפתחה של המאה העשרים ואחת. אלא שבחלומו של הכוזרי של הד"ר מיכה גודמן, המסתורין מתפזר והפשטות מתגלה כתחכום. ספר הכוזרי מתפענח כספר מתעתע, שיש בו יותר ממה שהעין רואה. האם עם ישראל באמת קדוש משאר העמים ועליון עליהם? האם ניתן להתבונן בעול ם ולחוש בו את טביעות אצבעותיו של האל?

According to polls, less than half of all Americans can even name more than four of them.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery, masters could beat their slaves, creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt, and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

God did not curse Eve or limit women in any way. Sadly, modern translations of Genesis 3:16 make it look like God did both. God didn't curse Adam either, but God did speak to him in a way exactly parallel to the other rebel in the Garden of Eden, the serpent-tempter. And two curses were imposed by God because of them.

Jacob and Solomon were polygamists. Tamar and Rahab were prostitutes. What are polygamists and prostitutes doing on the pages of holy scripture? And God told the prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute. What about Cain - did he really marry his sister? Abraham did, and he was also a polygamist. Lot offered his daughters up for rape, David committed adultery (or rape?), and the Bible calls both men righteous. Love, Old Testament style, was bizarre.

This audiobook is for all seekers who wish to understand the life and works of Rav Sha’ul, Yeshua the Messiah, and the possible role of Barabbas, from within the context of true Biblical Judaism and the times on which they lived, I wish to say that while this is a work of historical fiction, based upon some true facts, the story has been dramatized and certain traditions brought to life as facts, as well as adventurous but fictitious incidents in the lives of the main characters, in order to place the people back into the Jewish culture from which they came.

View of the Hebrews; or the Tribes of Israel in America is an 1823 book by Ethan Smith, a Congregationalist minister, who argued that Native Americans were descended from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The lost 10 tribes were believed to have disappeared after being taken captive by the Assyrians in the eighth century BCE. Smith's speculation was inspired by the apocryphal book II Esdras 13:41, which claims that the ten tribes settled in a far country, "where never mankind dwelt."
