FELLOWSHIP IN JUDAISM; THE FIRST CENTURY AND TODAY
Original Cloth. 8vo. 76 pages. 23 cm. First edition. With a preface by Robert A. Nisbet. These essays examine the sociology of Judaism in the last decades of the Second Jewish Commonwealth. The author discerns two kinds of religious fellowship, one constituted by the 'haber' (translated 'fellow') , based on observance of certain religious laws, and the other by the 'talmid hakham' (translated 'sage') , based on concern for study and application of the Torah. He contrasts the former with the contemporary community at Qumran, and shows the difference between the 'haburah' and the Dead Sea commune to have been based in some measure on a different attitude towards society. The final chapter presents an analysis of Jewish religious fellowship today, and offers some concrete suggestions for recovering a more vital social religious life with the aid of the lessons of the ancient fellowships. (Publishers Description) Subjects: Judaism. Pharisees. Jewish sociology. Light wear to jacket, institutional marks on endpages, otherwise fresh and clean. Good condition. (NEUSNER-3-52)

JUDAISM AND ITS SOCIAL METAPHORS: ISRAEL IN THE HISTORY OF JEWISH THOUGHT
Original Cloth. 8vo. XIV, 258 pages. 24 cm. First edition. The current crisis in Palestine is only the most recent manifestation of Israel's historical significance to the Jewish people. Jacob Neusner examines the crucial role of the definition of Israel in the history of Judaic thought. He argues that Judaic sages have constructed various metaphoric images of Israel-as family, as chosen people, as a nation-in order to express changing theological concerns as the religion evolved. The history of the definition of Israel is revealed as the reflection of the history of Judaism itself. This is a bold and original interpretation of the way in which Jews, as well as other peoples, define themselves. (Publishers Description) . Subjects: Judaism - History - Talmudic period, 10-425. Rabbinical literature - History and criticism. Jewish sociology. Jews - Identity. Clean and fresh in good jacket. Very good condition. (NEUSNER-3-50)

JUDAISM AND STORY: THE EVIDENCE OF THE FATHERS ACCORDING TO RABBI NATHAN
Original Cloth. 8vo. XXI, 241 pages. 24 cm. First edition. In this close analysis of The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan, a sixth-century commentary on the Mishnah-tractate The Fathers (Avot) , Jacob Neusner considers the way in which the story, as a distinctive type of narrative, entered the canonical writings of Judaism. The final installment in Neusner's cycle of analyses of the major texts of the Judaic canon, Judaism and Story shows that stories about sages exist in far greater proportion in The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan than in any of the other principal writings in the canon of Judaism of late antiquity. Neusner's detailed comparison of The Fathers and The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan demonstrates the transmission and elaboration of these stories and shows how these processes incorporated the newer view of the sage as a supernatural figure and of the eschatological character of Judaic teleology. These distinctions, as Neusner describes them, mark a shift in Jewish orientation to world history. Judaism and Story documents a chapter of rabbinic tradition that explored the possibility of historical orientation by means of stories. As Neusner demonstrates, this experiment with narrative went beyond the borders of rabbinic preoccupation with rhetorical argumentation focused on the explication of the Torah. The sage story moved in the direction of biography, but without allowing biography to emerge. This development, in Neusner's account, parallels the movement from epistle to Gospel in early Christianity and thus has broad implications for the history of religions. (Publishers Description) . Subjects: Rabbis - Biography - History and criticism. Jewish legends - History and criticism. Talmud. Minor tractates. Avot de-Rabbi Nathan - Biography. Talmud. Minor tractates. Avot de-Rabbi Nathan Legends. In good jacket. Very good condition. (NEUSNER-2-51A)
