Book Synopsis“The conflict is only ‘seemingly' beyond solution, because all historical-political problems have solutions, if there is enough courage, honesty, and steadfastness.â€� In Chosen?, Walter Brueggemann explores the situation in modern-day Israel that raises questions for many...Trade Review"I commend this book to all those struggling with these questions and all who are concerned for peace and Justice in the Land called Holy." --Dr. Mitri Raheb, President of Diyar Consortium and Dar al-Kalima University College in Bethleham, President of the Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, and Senior Pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethleham, Palestine "This important volume could be a "game changer" for pastors, congregational study, denominational policy, the academy, religious journals, and hopefully elected officials who continue to fail the Palestinians, Israelis, and their own constituents with decades of misguided Middle East policies." --Rev. Dr. Don Wagner, National Program Director, Friends of Sabeel-North America. "It is an evenhanded effort to enable a fresh conversation among all of us who share his unequivocal commitment to the strength and security of Israel with an equal commitment to a viable, secure future for the Palestinian community." - Rev. Vernon S. Broyles, III, Representative for Public Witness, Office of the General Assembly, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) "Walter Brueggemann has done a great service to the Jewish people and to all who rely on the Hebrew Bible as a guide to life by demonstrating in this book that there is no straight line between these ancient holy texts and the oppression of the Palestinian people by an expansionist Zionist government in modern Israel. ? -- Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun magazine: A Quarterly Jewish and Interfaith Critique of Politics, Culture and Society, chair of the Network of Spiritual Progressives, and author of Jewish Renewal: A Path to Healing and Transformation and Embracing Israel/Palestine: A Strategy for Middle East Peace "No matter what you think about who God's chosen people are, Professor Brueggemann is clear and starkly honest in his assessment of the untenable nature of the modern State of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians...This book is a welcome refocusing of a faith lens that has been too often used in the past--especially in the context of the Israelis and Palestinians--to exclude and appropriate, rather than include and edify." --Dr. Peter Makari, Executive for the Middle East and Europe, Global Ministries of the United Church of Christ and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and author of Conflict and Cooperation: Christian-Muslim Relations in Contemporary Egypt. "This is a groundbreaking and terribly important book, because of the authority Brueggemann brings and because theological investigation is the key that will free Palestinians as well as Israelis from the current tragic impasse...As ever, Brueggemann's voice, his compassion, and his courage are a beacon, shining a light where it most needs to be shone." -- Mark Braverman, author, Fatal Embrace: Christians, Jews, and the Search for Peace in the Holy Land, Executive Director, Kairos USA "This book is written for Christians and Jews who take seriously God's promises to Israel in the Hebrew Scripture but who are troubled by how contemporary Palestinians are being treated by modern Israelis...It is simply the best book on its subject that I have read. --Dr. Duncan Hanson, area supervisor for the Middle East, Europe and India for the Reformed Church in America "This may be the best guide yet to help the church talk about a matter of enormous importance for our generation." --Gary M. Burge, Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College & Graduate School and author of Jesus and the Land: The New Testament Challenge to Holy Land Theology. "Brueggemann offers an honest critique of a belief system that reduces faith to a self-serving ideology and warns against a Christian reading of the Bible that reduces it to an ideological prop for the state of Israel. While he does not critique the texts that are used to justify the oppression of the Palestinians, nor offer a solution to the Palestine-Israel conflict based on justice and international law, I do think the book is very useful for American Christians to read and discuss." --Naim AteekTable of ContentsIntroduction1.

University Press of America Daniels Spiel
Book SynopsisThe hostile regime that set out to annihilate the Jewish religion and culture forms the background of the Book of Daniel. Jin Hee Han''s book, Daniel''s Spiel: Apocalyptic Literacy in the Book of Daniel, identifies the main agenda behind the creation of the book of Daniel, explaining how Daniel promotes an alternative discourse in opposition to the Hellenistic regime in the second century B.C.E. The word Spiel in the title refers to Daniel''s strategy of using apocalyptic language to give the people hope, as he offered them a discourse of resistance meant to keep alive their anticipation of God''s inevitable triumph over the evil regime that tormented them. Author Jin Hee Han provides modern readers with useful insights into why the Book of Daniel was created and offers clues of how it might be interpreted today.Trade ReviewIn this important and groundbreaking book Jin Han expounds the significance of the social function of apocalyptic language as pedagogy for an oppressed people. He demonstrates the central place which the apocalyptic texts have in Second Temple Judaism as epistemological transforming texts, in which dreams of another world are crucial for maintaining hope, by forming an alternative outlook on the world. -- Christopher Rowland, Dean Ireland Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture, University of OxfordA brief summary of the main thrust of Han's work does not do justice to the sophistication and broad range of the interdisciplinary scholarship that Han brings to bear on his basic argument. * Catholic Biblical Quarterly, Spring 2009 *Han's book probes the complexities of Daniel and its larger apocalyptic environment with great acumen and presents his results in compelling fashion. Readers will find that reading and writing are topics of large significance in understanding apocalyptic. Both an introduction to apocalyptic and an exploration of Daniel as an example, this book is written in a "language" that opens up both subjects with clarity and depth. The result for the reader is a new literacy in things and language apocalyptic. The book is powerfully theological and in touch with the issues of contemporary life about how we may think and believe in situations of hopeless adversity. -- Patrick D.

Jason Aronson, Inc. Jewish Liturgy as a Spiritual System
Book SynopsisReaders of this book will emerge with a new awareness of what we as Jews are doing when we pray, why we are doing it, how we are supposed to be affected by prayer, how the prayers came to be as they are today, and how they differ among the major movements of American Judaism. The traditional Jewish liturgy, if properly understood, is a deep and powerful technique for spiritual transformation. However, spiritual depth of prayer has been progressively reduced over the past 2000 years as the underlying currents of the Siddur, the Jewish prayerbook, have been lost to the majority of worshippers. This book explains the Jewish liturgy prayer by prayer, according to what, in the context of ancient and medieval Judaism, was its raison d''tre: a structure for transforming one''s mind and way of life. The author writes: The crisis Judaism now faces, while genuine, is due not to a lack of depth in the traditional Jewish prayer service, but to a profound and almost universal lack of understandin

Oxford University Press Religion of Reason
Book SynopsisHermann Cohen''s Religion of Reason, Out of the Sources of Judaism (first published in 1919) is widely taken to be the greatest work in Jewish philosophy and religious thought since Maimonides'' Guide to the Perplexed. It is at once a Jewish book and a philosophical one: Jewish because it takes its material from the literary tradition that extends from the bible to the rabbis to the great medieval philosophers; philosophical because it studies that material in order to construct a worldview that is rational in the broadest sense of the term. This edition reprints a 1972 introduction by Leo Strauss and includes an essay on the work by Steven Schwarzchild. A new introduction by Kenneth R. Seeskin situates Cohen''s masterwork in the history of modern philosophical and religious thought.
