In this book, Nicholas de Lange examines the basic elements of Judaism, both as a religion and a way of life. Assuming no prior knowledge, the book opens with an account of the Jewish people and the main lines of its history. The following eight chapters are structured around this historical framework and focus on the different strands that make up the fabric of Judaism. The Torah and tradition, worship, the Bible, law, ethics, mysticism, theology and eschatology are all discussed, with a final chapter exploring the problems facing Judaism today, helping to illustrate that Judaism is a living and important religion.

Hebrew manuscripts are our most important source of knowledge about Jewish intellectual, religious and everyday life in the Middle Ages, and anyone wishing to engage with medieval Jewish history needs to know about the manuscripts themselves, how to study them, and the literary genres to which they belong. Colette Sirat offers a comprehensive overview of these subjects in this illustrated introduction to Hebrew manuscript culture. This 2002 work is a considerably re-structured, extended and updated version of an earlier presentation in French. It now encompasses all aspects of Hebrew manuscripts - textual, codicological and palaeographical - combining different disciplines to give an all-embracing view of the subject. The volume has been translated from the author's revision of her earlier French book, and edited for an English readership, by leading Hebrew scholar Nicholas de Lange, who worked closely with Professor Sirat in the preparation of the new book.

This book brings together specially commissioned contributions by leading scholars from around the world, who focus on the place of Hebrew scholarship in the Middle Ages. Hebrew language is at the heart of the volume, but beyond that there is a specific focus on scholarly investigation and writing, interpreted in the broad sense to include not only linguistic study pursued for its own sake but also as applied in other areas, such as biblical commentary or poetic creation. At the same time there is a focus on contemporary scholarship. Several of the contributions survey research in major areas. Thirdly, the place of Hebrew scholarship within a wider medieval world is a subject that receives special attention, and particularly the interaction between Jewish scholars and their Christian and Muslim counterparts.

In this book contemporary Judaism is presented in all its rich diversity, including both traditional and modern theologies as well as secular forms of Jewish identity. While the focus of the book is on developments that have taken place in the past two hundred years, they are set against a historical background, going back to the Bible. Beginning with a description of the Jewish people as it exists in today's world, it studies the unique concept of Jewish peoplehood and its survival over the centuries in the face of many challenges. An account of the key texts is followed by studies of the different interpretations of the religion, and the ways that life is lived out both in the home and in the community. Jewish theology is described both historically and in terms of contemporary issues. An important and distinctive section considers the goals of Jewish life and faith.

Ignaz Maybaum (1897-1976) is widely recognized as one of the foremost Jewish theologians of the post-Holocaust era. Although he is mentioned in most treatments of post-Holocaust Jewish theology, his works are out of print and are only accessible to a small readership.Nicholas de Lange (who worked closely with Maybaum in his lifetime), has made a representative selection from his writings, under various headings: Judaism in the Modern Age, Trialogue between Jew, Christian, and Muslim, the Holocaust, and Zion. In an Introduction, he sets Maybaum's thoughts against the background of their time, indicates their main lines, and assesses how much of them is still of value today.

How can finite minds approach an infinite and ultimately unknowable God? Is it true that Christianity is a religion of love and Judaism a religion of law? Can a Jew accept the Orthodox Christian veneration of holy images? How much do Jews and Orthodox Christians have in common when they worship God? What can be done about Christian prayers that Jews find offensive? How much responsibility do Christians carry for antisemitism? These and other questions are addressed in this book which is intended as a major contribution to encounters between Judaism and Orthodox Christianity. In seventeen chapters, expert theologians and historians examine central issues of common concern relating to theology and worship as well as to the vexed historical question of anti-Semitism. The focus is on dialogue and deepened knowledge, as the contributors dispel widely-held misconceptions and identify a good deal of common ground.

This book addresses Judaism and Orthodox Christianity, and particularly their points of similarity and difference, congruence and conflict. The city of Jerusalem stands at the heart of both these age-old faiths, but today it is a divided city in which Jews and Orthodox Christians seem to find themselves on opposite sides of history. Must this story be one of continuing conflict, or is there scope for reconciliation and common effort? How do religions that cherish tradition face up to the challenges of a rapidly changing world? What place can they offer to women? Can they welcome lesbian and gay adherents? How do their traditional resources help them to face climate change and other environmental issues? How have they responded to the COVID pandemic? What contribution can they make to current debates about subjects like euthanasia and assisted dying? In seventeen chapters by expert theologians and historians this book examines central issues of common concern. The focus is on dialogue and deepened knowledge. The authors dispel some widely held misconceptions and identify a good deal of common ground. In this way the book aims to lay foundations for future engagement between the two religions.

Die Autoren der in diesem Band versammelten Aufsätze befassen sich mit der jüdischen Überlieferung und dem Gebrauch griechischer Übersetzungen der biblischen Bücher von der Spätantike bis zur frühen Neuzeit. Dabei wird der erste Versuch unternommen, die Beiträge von Spezialisten verschiedener Gebiete zu versammeln, die nicht nur biblische und jüdische Studien, sondern auch solche Disziplinen wie die Epigraphie sowie die byzantinische Geschichte und Literatur einschließen. Die Autoren zeigen, wie Griechisch sprechende Juden eine Tradition griechisch-biblischer Gelehrsamkeit am Leben erhalten haben, die bis ins Altertum zurückgeht, und wie diese Tradition das Studium der christlichen Bibel beeinflusst hat.

Zum ersten Mal wird in diesem Band die Rezeption und Überlieferung griechischer Übersetzungen der Bibel durch Juden im Mittelalter in diesem Umfang behandelt. Dies ist das Ergebnis von über 40 Jahren Forschungsarbeit Nicholas de Langes, der die meisten Belege selber zusammengestellt hat, hauptsächlich aus bisher unveröffentlichten Manuskriptquellen, wie den Kairoer Geniza Fragmenten. Das byzantinische Judentum stach durch seine ungebrochene Tradition der Bibelübersetzungen in die eigene Sprache hervor, die bis in die Antike zurückverfolgt werden kann. Diese Studie gibt nicht nur Aufschluss über das jüdische Leben und Denken in Byzanz, sondern auch über Themen wie die Verbreitung des rabbinischen Judentums in Europa, die karäische Bewegung, die antiken griechischen Übersetzungen, vor allem von Aquila, und über die Beziehung zwischen jüdischer und christlicher Überlieferung der griechischen Bibel. Ein Anhang verfolgt die Verwendung solcher Übersetzungen bis ins 19. Jahrhundert.

¿Qué es la religión judía? ¿Qué elementos definen el pueblo judío? ¿Cómo se estructuran la familia y la comunidad? ¿En qué consisten sus ritos y sus tradiciones? ¿Qué es el Talmud? ¿Cómo afronta el futuro el judaísmo? En esta introducción a la religión y la cultura hebrea se muestra el judaísmo contemporáneo en toda su rica diversidad, presentando tanto las teologías, tradicionales y modernas, como las formulaciones laicas de la identidad judía. Si bien el interés principal del libro se concentra en los acontecimientos acaecidos en los últimos doscientos años, los hechos son estudiados a la luz de un trasfondo histórico que se remonta hasta la Biblia. El libro comienza describiendo la vida de los judíos en el mundo actual, para abordar acto seguido el concepto, sin duda excepcional, de un pueblo judío que ha pervivido a través de los siglos y de muchos padecimientos. A continuación se analizan los textos fundamentales y, seguidamente, se desgranan las diferentes interpretaciones de la religión y las maneras en que la existencia es vivida en el seno del hogar y en comunidad. Finalmente, la teología judía es expuesta tanto desde un punto de vista histórico como atendiendo a los intensos debates actuales que, aun hoy, buscan renovar el judaísmo. Esta segunda edición ha sido completamente revisada y actualizada, incluyendo los últimos datos demográficos, políticos y económicos del judaísmo en el mundo.
