{"product_id":"a-short-history-of-judaism-9780800625528","title":"A Short History of Judaism","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the world's experts on classical Jewish history and literature here offers a clear and useful interpretation of the three major periods of Jewish history from the time of the Bible up to the present. It is a view from the inside, a description of the actual practice and thought of three epochs: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe time of the Jerusalem temples\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe Judaism of any place (the dispersion)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe modern period\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inner dynamics of each period are capsulized in terms of three meals: the priest's meal with God in the Temple, all Israel's meals with God in no particular place, and all Israel's meals at home on the special occasion of the gathering of the family. This book offers a distinctive solution to the problem that all teachers of the study of religion face: how to relate the religion described in books to the same religion as it is lived in the world. What emerges is a captivating account of the life-forming nature of a dynamic religion in vastly differing historical contests. Included are maps, illustrations, photographs, and a glossary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Neusner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Augsburg Fortress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.53w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800625528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNeusner, Jacob:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacob Neusner \u003c\/b\u003eis Distinguished Service Professor of the History and Theology of Judaism at Bard College and the author of numerous books on Judaism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augsburg Fortress Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40628649394291,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":39.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_41765034-67c8-409b-9df2-b0e53acf8e7e.jpg?v=1671116097","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/a-short-history-of-judaism-9780800625528","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
