Hebraism in Religion, History, and Politics: The Third Culture

Autor Steven Grosby
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 mar 2021
Hebraism in Religion, History, and Politics is an investigation into Hebraism as a category of cultural analysis within the history of Christendom. Its aim is to determine what Hebraism means or should mean when it is used. The characteristics of Hebraism indicate a changing relation between the Old and New Testaments that arose in Medieval and early modern Europe, between on the one hand a doctrinally universal Christianity, and on the other various Christian nations that were understood as being a 'new Israel'. Thus, Hebraism refers to the development of a paradoxically intriguing 'Jewish Christianity' or an 'Old Testament Christianity'. It represents a 'third culture' in contrast to the culture of Roman or Hellenistic empire and Christian universalism. There were attempts, with varying success, during the twentieth century to clarify Hebraism as a category of cultural history and religious history. Steven Grosby expertly contributes to that clarification. In so doing, the possibility arises that Hebraism and Hebraic culture offer a different way to look at religion, its history, and the history of the West.

Recenzii

Grosby (emer., Clemson Univ.) fulfills his commitment to narrow the meaning of the term Hebraism to define a culture alongside classicism and Christianity, within Christendom, and to determine whether Hebraic culture emerges as useful heuristically to understanding post-Reformation history. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
