"Judaism is often called the religion of reason. It is this, but it is also the religion of the soul. It recognises the value of that mystic insight, those indefinable intuitions which, taking up the task at the point where the mind impotently abandons it, carries us straight into the presence of the King."Israel Abrahams was one of the most distinguished Jewish scholars of his time. In this volume he attempted to take up a few of the most characteristic points in Jewish doctrine and practice, and to explain the various phases through which they have passed, since the first centuries of the Christian era.It is here followed by "Chapters on Jewish Literature", a work which has been compiled with the definite aim of providing an elementary manual designed for those who may wish to master some of the leading characteristics of the subject, without burdening themselves with too many details and dates.

In "Jews and Judaism," Morris Jastrow provides a comprehensive examination of Jewish life, culture, and religious practices from antiquity to the modern age. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, the book delves into the historical evolution of Judaism, exploring its texts, traditions, and interactions with surrounding cultures. Jastrows deep grasp of religious studies and ancient civilizations allows him to articulate the complexities of Jewish identity, weaving a narrative that contextualizes Judaism within the broader tapestry of world history. The work is marked by its critical analysis and an impassioned commitment to illuminating the richness of Jewish heritage against a backdrop of challenges and transformations. Morris Jastrow was a prominent American scholar of Semitic languages and an influential figure in Judaic studies during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His extensive academic background, coupled with his personal experiences as a Jewish intellectual during a time of rising anti-Semitism, informed his perspective in this work. Jastrows endeavors encompassed a wide range of topics, making him uniquely positioned to address the multifaceted nature of Jewish existence and beliefs. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of Judaism, its historical development, and its profound impact on world religions. Jastrows erudition and heartfelt approach invite scholars and general readers alike to engage with the enduring legacy of the Jewish community.

The text of 2 Maccabees (Makkabaion 2) offers a rich historical narrative that recounts the Maccabean revolt against Hellenistic rule in Judea, focusing particularly on the themes of faith, resistance, and divine intervention. Written in an engaging and lively style, the book employs a dramatic retelling, mixing both historical episodes and theological reflections that invite readers to consider the significance of Jewish identity and culture during a period of intense persecution. As one of the deuterocanonical books, it occupies a unique position in the corpus of biblical literature, showcasing the tension between Hellenism and the Jewish tradition, while also highlighting the urgency of maintaining religious fervor in the face of adversity. The identity of the author remains anonymous, yet the text reflects a deep concern for the preservation of Jewish heritage, likely influenced by the socio-political climate of the late second century BCE. It is believed that the author, drawing from a wealth of oral traditions and preceding texts, sought to inspire and unify the Jewish community, confronting the challenges posed by foreign domination and internal strife. This context not only sheds light on the motivational impetus for the work but also enriches the readers understanding of the struggles inherent in maintaining cultural identity. I highly recommend 2 Maccabees to anyone interested in the intersections of history, religion, and literature. Its compelling narrative, vibrant characters, and profound theological insights make it an essential read for scholars and lay readers alike. The work serves not only as a historical document but also as a timeless reflection on resilience and faith in the face of overwhelming odds.

The work reflects a rich tapestry of rabbinic discourse and mysticism, merging narrative style with theological depth, providing readers with insight into the moral, spiritual, and philosophical dimensions of Hebraic literature within its historical context. The editors and contributors behind this anthology come from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, deeply invested in preserving and celebrating Jewish heritage. Their collaborative efforts to render these ancient texts into modern English arise from a commitment to bridge cultural and temporal divides, allowing contemporary audiences to engage with the complexities of Jewish intellectual tradition. By contextualizing these texts, the editors invite readers to experience the depth of Jewish scholarship through a modern lens. Hebraic Literature is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Jewish spirituality and ethics.

El manuscrito completo de Enoc, es un compendio de textos hebreos antiguos, atribuidos directamente al Profeta Enoc, bisabuelo de Noe. En el libro se describe a detalle la caída de los ángeles (vigilantes) que se unieron carnalmente a las humanas y que mas tarde engendrarian a los llamados Nefilim. Por tal motivo el Señor envio a los Arcangeles a atar a este grupo liderado por Shemihaza y Azazel y eliminar a la prole maldita de los gigantes. El libro de los vigilantes concluye con la historia de la inundacion universal. El resto del libro lo componen: El libro de los sueños, el libro de las luminarias, el libro de Noe y el libro de las parabolas. Todos posiblemente escritos por Enoc hace mas de 5500 años de acuerdo a la cronologia.Y los hijos del cielo miraron la hermosura de las hijas de los hombres y en sus corazones con el pasar del tiempo se formo el deseo inamovible que no desecharon, y por lujuria y sentir el placer de la carne se hicieron cuerpos como los humanos y bajaron sobre aquella montaña para llevar a cabo sus deseos. Libro de Enoc

In "A History of the Jewish People in the Time of Jesus Christ," Emil Schurer presents a meticulous examination of the socio-political and religious landscape of first-century Judea. Drawing on an array of primary sources and employing a rigorous scholarly approach, Schurer deftly situates his work within the broader historical context, offering insights into the complexities of Jewish life during a transformative period marked by Roman occupation and the diverse currents of Jewish thought. His elegant prose balances academic rigor with clarity, making this extensive analysis accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in this pivotal era. Emil Schurer (1817-1888), a prominent Jewish historian, undertook this monumental project in an era characterized by burgeoning interest in biblical scholarship. Schurers own experiences as a scholar, combined with the socio-political upheaval of 19th-century Europe, shaped his worldview and methodological approach, infusing his work with a deep empathy for the individuals and communities he chronicles. His dedication to uncovering the historical context of Jesus life reflects a commitment to bridging gaps in understanding between faith and history. This groundbreaking work is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics at play during the time of Jesus Christ. Schurers comprehensive analysis not only enriches our knowledge of Jewish history but also illuminates the cultural and religious backdrop against which Christianity emerged. As such, it is a foundational text for theologians, historians, and readers from all walks of life wishing to engage with this critical moment in history.

Areopagitica John Milton - Areopagitica; A speech of Mr. John Milton for the Liberty of Unlicencd Printing, to the Parlament of England is a 1644 prose polemic by the English poet, scholar, and polemical author John Milton opposing licensing and censorship. Areopagitica is among historys most influential and impassioned philosophical defences of the principle of a right to freedom of speech and expression. Many of its expressed principles have formed the basis for modern justifications.Conclusion:Milton recognises individual rights, but he is not completely libertarian in Areopagitica as he argues that the status quo ante worked best. According to the previous English law, all books had to have at least a printers name (and preferably an authors name) inscribed in them. Under that system, Milton argues, if any blasphemous or libellous material is published, those books can still be destroyed after the fact. "Those which otherwise come forth, if they be found mischievous and libellous, the fire and the executioner will be the timeliest and the most effectuall remedy, that mans prevention can use." Milton seeks a means by which to ensure that authors and publishers remain culpable for any "mischievous" or "libellous" work that they produce. Regardless, Milton certainly is not without remorse for the libellous author, nor does he promote unrestricted free speech. In addition, he admits that his tolerance is limited:I mean not tolerated Popery, and open superstition, which as it extirpats all religions and civill supremacies, so it self should be extirpate, provided first that all charitable and compassionate means be used to win and regain the weak and the misled.According to Nicholas McDowell, the second part of the forecited statement is usually left out by those quoting the first part to show that Milton was, at heart, a religious bigot, and that his ideas about free speech and intellectual liberty have little to teach us about liberalism today.

¿Alguna vez imaginaste lo que hubiera sido si no existiera Dios?Exactamente. ¡Nada!Intentar siquiera imaginarlo me deja la mente en blanco.Porque si el Todopoderoso no existiera, nada existiría. No hay cielos, ni Tierra, ni galaxias, ni constelaciones, ni criaturas, ni siquiera un cielo que esperar.Habria sido simplemente un vacio enorme y masivo.
