Oneworld Publications Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning: Encountering
Book SynopsisBy pairing a scholar of Islamic law with a scholar of Jewish law, a unique dynamic is created, and new perspectives are made possible. These new perspectives not only enable an understanding of the other’s legal tradition, but most saliently, they offer new insights into one’s own legal tradition, shedding light on what had previously been assumed to be outside the scope of analytic vision. In the course of this volume, scholars come together to examine such issues as judicial authority, the legal policing of female sexuality, and the status of those who stand outside one’s own tradition. Whether for the pursuit of advanced scholarship, pedagogic innovation in the classroom, or simply a greater appreciation of how to live in a multi-faith, post-secular world, these encounters are richly-stimulating, demonstrating how legal tradition can be used as a common site for developing discussions and opening up diverse approaches to questions about law, politics, and community. Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning offers a truly incisive model for considering the good, the right and the legal in our societies today.Trade Review‘A revelatory exploration of faith traditions in deep dialogue with one another. Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning offers a model of reciprocal conversation at a time when it is too often in short supply.’ -- Dr. Seth Anziska, Lecturer in Jewish-Muslim Relations, University College London‘A wonderfully engaging conversation about the meaning, value, and possible revision of legal traditions.’ -- Michael Walzer, Professor Emeritus, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton‘Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning is daring and innovative. The book is a conversation among scholars of law and religion in these two great traditions, based on intensive collective readings of and reflections on each other’s key texts, specifically concerning the role of reason and authority in determining law. The result is a fascinating and highly readable account of this dialogue.’ -- Ziba Mir-Hosseini, SOAS, University of London‘Anver Emon and Robert Gibbs are among the very best scholars of their generation on (respectively) Islamic and Jewish legal reasoning. This volume is a treasure, bringing their work into conversation with other notable scholars, helping us to better understand our shared heritage.’ -- Amir Hussain, Professor of Theological Studies, Loyola Marymount University‘Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning is a series of thoughtful scholarly essays in which recognition of differences becomes the starting point for mutual understanding. The essays introduce the reader to pairs of outstanding scholars who reflect together on legal questions regarding animals, sovereignty, the status of women, and other issues. Their conversations provide a wealth of detail on these two important traditions, and they remind us again that to know our own law and culture, we must first understand the questions others raise about them.’ -- Robin W. Lovin, William H. Scheide Senior Fellow in Theology, Center of Theological Inquiry‘Designed for the non-specialist, this fascinating book invites the reader to listen in on a conversation about law, Jewish law and Islamic law, among distinguished scholars thinking modern questions—the nature of law and judicial authority, the status of women, animal rights, and sovereignty—with ancient and medieval texts. It is a deeply serious book which models an informed and open dialogue about consequential matters rather than providing packaged pieties.’ -- Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, Chair, Department of Religious Studies, Indiana University BloomingtonTable of ContentsIntroduction: Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning—Beginnings (Anver M.

C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd The Japanese Talmud: Antisemitism in East Asia
Book SynopsisThe image of Jews in East Asia is a strange mixture of opposites, a paradoxical blend of admiration and mockery, identification and denial. This book explores what 'Jew' means to many East Asians, and whether it is anything that Jewish people themselves would recognise. There is clearly a positive fascination: various bestsellers entitled Talmud are found in vending machines and public schools, while private 'Jewish education' institutions have opened across South Korea, claiming to improve children's IQ. People can stay at the Talmud Business Hotel in Taiwan, or attend Chinese centres for Jewish Studies with academics who have never met a Jew. There is a legend that Japanese people are a Lost Tribe of Israel, and 'Anne's day', named after Anne Frank, is a euphemism for menstruation. Yet the region also shows some of the world's highest rates of antisemitism, manifesting in disturbing ways: Taiwan's concentration camp–themed restaurant, or South Korea's 'Adolf Hitler Techno Bar & Cocktail Show'. By integrating scholarship on antisemitism, East Asian Studies and cognitive science, Schilling uncovers antisemitism's global, sometimes dualistic nature; not Western, and always persistent. He offers ground-breaking insight, redefining how we understand East Asia, antisemitism, and Judaism as a globalised religion.Trade Review'Truly insightful and thought-provoking. Tracing the origin and rise of the Talmud publications vogue in East Asia, this is a critical and novel analysis of contemporary attitudes toward Jews.' -- Rotem Kowner, Professor of Japanese Studies, University of Haifa, and editor of Jewish Communities in Modern Asia'This wonderful, ground-breaking book uses a combination of case studies, theorising and cognitive science to investigate antisemitism's co-existence with philosemitism in East Asian culture. Every serious scholar of antisemitism needs to read this original and important contribution to the literature.' -- Lesley Klaff, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Contemporary Antisemitism'An important study not only of the East Asian manifestations of antisemitism and philosemitism, but also, especially via the notions of bisemitism and antisemitism as storytelling, perspectives that every student of antisemitism needs at least to consider. A useful contribution to combatting antisemitism.' -- Paul Hedges, Associate Professor in Interreligious Studies, Nanyang Technological University

Hay House UK Ltd Exile & Ecstasy: Growing Up with Ram Dass and
Book SynopsisThrough the perspective of having grown up among "HinJews" in the Ram Dass community and cannabis legalization movement, Madison Margolin takes the reader on a journey inside New York's Jewish counterculture and the Hasidic underground, reconciling her roots, tackling ancestral Jewish trauma, and finding intersectionality between the Jewish and psychedelic experience. Exile and Ecstasy sets out to explore the psychedelic path that occupies the crossroads between the Ram Dass movement and Hasidism. It's a path of seeking and escape, rebellion and return, medicine and magic. Bridging the polar ends of the Jewish and psychedelic worlds, while buttressing the experience with expert reportage, Madison Margolin prods at Be Here Now to find its relevance and utility in a new generation, facing different issues than those Ram Dass faced as a generally well-to-do boomer. In doing so, she looks at solutions to our lack of presence and offers practices that help us integrate our psychedelic experiences in mundane life, as well as in the context of our roots and religious identities. This book is for anyone looking to feel spiritually kindled, to make peace with where they come from, and to reconcile seemingly disparate experiences of spirituality and psychedelics, with traditional religion.
