The Cambridge Dictionary of Judaism and Jewish Culture is an authoritative and accessible reference work for a twenty-first-century audience. Its entries, written by eminent scholars, define the spiritual and intellectual concepts and religious movements that distinguish Judaism and the Jewish experience; they discuss central personalities and places, formative events and enduring literary and cultural contributions and they illuminate the lives of ordinary Jewish men and women. Essays explore Jewish history from ancient times to the present and consider all aspects of Judaism, including religious practices and rituals, legal teachings and legendary traditions and rationalism, mysticism and messianism. This reference work differs from many others in its broad exploration of the Jewish experience beyond Judaism. Entries discuss secular and political movements and achievements and delineate Jewish endeavors in literature, art, music, theater, dance, film, broadcasting, sports, science, medicine and ecology, among many other topics from the Bible to the Internet.

C'est par la scène originelle du judaïsme, au cœur même de son principe fondateur, celui par lequel le Nom divin investit le monde puis se retire pour laisser sa chance à la "seconde créature", que Le Judaïsme et l'Esprit du monde nous invite à pénétrer dans l'épopée fondatrice de notre histoire. Au fil de cette découverte, Shmuel Trigano ré-expérimente le sens du judaïsme, sa geste intellectuelle fondatrice, en éclairant ses multiples expressions comme ses aspects les plus contemporains. Loin de se limiter à l'Antiquité, celui-ci fait en effet sentir son souffle jusqu'à nos jours dans l'ensemble des figures qui marquent l'existence collective et individuelle, à savoir la religion, la politique, les mœurs et l'histoire, les quatre livres qui composent cet ouvrage. Du droit talmudique à l'existence politique d'Israël, des institutions mosaïques à la structuration de la société moderne, de l'apôtre Paul à Karl Marx, le judaïsme structure ainsi sa plade dans l'histoire, une place dont l'actualité ne se dément pas.Par la force du sujet comme par l'ambition du propos qui l'anime, Le Judaïsme et l'Esprit du monde s'affirme comme un ouvrage hors du commun, au rang des grands livres de pensée contemporains.

"Did authors of Second Temple texts concern themselves with 'salvation'? If so, on what terms? What does one need 'salvation' from? Are the parameters of who is included in or excluded from 'salvation' defined? The present volume is a collection of essays analysing the topic of 'soteriology' in a select corpus of Jewish texts dating from the Second Temple Period. Working from a sound methodological basis the contributors assess the theme in different books, acknowledging that the approaches in each text are different, depending on issues of genre and provenance. This allows an acute comparison of how this topic is present across a myriad of Second Temple Jewish texts. Throughout the course of the work the notion of 'soteriology' is very broadly conceived. Whilst acknowledging the obviously Christian connotation of the term 'soteriology', the volume similarly acknowledges the usefulness of the term as an heuristic category for careful analysis."--Page 4 of cover.
