NO OF PAGES: 149 SUB CAT I: Prayer SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Vol. 1 examines the oldest and best-known of Jewish prayers. Often the first prayer memorized by children and the last prayer recited on a deathbed, the Sh'ma frames a Jewish life.NOTES: Using Maimonides's writings and a wealth of research, Heschel has fashioned the moving story of the great medieval philosopher and has evoked the passion and richness of Jewish life amid the colors and spectacles of the Arabic civilization of 12th century Spain. Heschel has also undertaken a careful critique of Maimonides's thought, focusing on his conflict with Aristotelian tradition and on his magnum opus, The Guide for the Perplexed. This sympathetic biography is an essential aid to the study of Maimonides and his influence on Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions.Donated by David Daniels. SUBTITLE: Traditional Prayers, Modern Commentaries The following comments apply to each volume in the series: The book is set up in much the same way as a Talmud. A passage from the prayer or prayer service is written in the center of the page, with commentaries written around it. Each commentary, by a recognized biblical scholar approaches the passage from a different perspective; historic, feminist, traditional, etc. One can then follow the a comment which interests him/her. The Hebrew is translated into contemporary English. The basic introduction is the same in each book. Each volume is, therefore, complete on its own, so one can pick and chose amongst them and still get the full impact of the subject. Highly recommended to those open to a diversity of opinion and analysis. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
