Montefiore's \u003ci\u003eTruth in Religion\u003c\/i\u003e of 1906. It combines forthrightly radical thinking with spirituality, love of Jewish tradition, and an abundance of carefully documented quotations from classical Jewish sources. This combination yields many fresh insights into the interpretation of Scripture, as examined in Part I, and the significance ofthe Jewish festivals dealt with in Part II, and brings out the relevance of both to present-day intellectual and social issues. Both Parts will be found to contain many original ideas, novel formulations, and occasional touches of humour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e \tGlossary\u003cbr\u003e \tForeword\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART I: AN UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Myth of the Garden\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eCain and Abel\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eNever Again?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Tower of Babel\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eAbraham and Sodom\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eIshmael my Brother\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Birthright of a Jew\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8. \u003c\/strong\u003eIsrael and Edom\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9. \u003c\/strong\u003eJacob's Ladder\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10. \u003c\/strong\u003eEsau's Kiss\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11. \u003c\/strong\u003eLife and the Use We Make of it\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Ten Plagues\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 13. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Spirit of Nachshon\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 14. \u003c\/strong\u003eMiriam and Deborah\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 15. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Jews had Light\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 16. \u003c\/strong\u003eSacrifices\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 17. \u003c\/strong\u003eLoving the Stranger\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 18. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Numbers Game\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 19. \u003c\/strong\u003eEldad and Medad\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 20. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Cushite Woman\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 21. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Spirit that Affirms\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 22. \u003c\/strong\u003eControversies and Controversies\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 23. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Mortality of Moses\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 24. \u003c\/strong\u003eJews and Non-Jews\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 25. \u003c\/strong\u003eSignposts of Repentance\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 26. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Stranger Who Lives Among You\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 27. \u003c\/strong\u003eGood God?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 28. \u003c\/strong\u003eSword or Book\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART II: SEASONS OF THE JEWISH YEAR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 29. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeason of Freedom\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 30. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeason of Revelation\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 31. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeason of Sorrow\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 32. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeason of Repentance\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 33. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeason of Atonement\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 34. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeason of Gladness\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 35. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeason of Dedication\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 36. \u003c\/strong\u003eSeason of Levity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041437811031,"sku":"9781571819710","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781571819710.jpg?v=1750950274","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/an-understanding-of-judaism-9781571819710","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
