Helpful historic background for the prophetic writings of Isaiah and Jeremiah (and Jesus a little). Given his explanations of how he shares the verses of the prophets---picking from several English translations of the Bible, including one Jewish one (the JPS)---I don't think the author knows Hebrew. Lots of endnotes. I picked up the Uncorrected Proof of the book. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"In ancient Judea, Jeremiah and Isaiah advised kings and priests and watched the great armies of the ancient Near East sweep across the desert, threatening and overtaking their tiny country with its burgeoning faith. Across centuries a new view emerged based on their words: Might does not make right; we are all the children of one God. Both the beautiful words of Isaiah and the frightening words of Jeremiah helped form our contemporary ideas of justice, ethics, and faith. Richard Rubenstein shows us the evolution of our own moral codes and how they transformed the god of the Israelites from a local deity into Adonai, the universal sovereign who requires ethical behavior and demands the pursuit of justice for all people.--From publisher description."--From source other than the Library of Congress No library descriptions found. |
