Abstract

Viewing the Conservative Movement at a turning point, this book analyzes the problems facing the largest religious movement in the American Jewish community and outlines a plan of action for the future. Elazar and Geffen suggest: clarifying ideology, mission, and purpose, finding the right balance between traditionalists and advocates of change, unifying movement institutions in a cooperative effort, staunching the decline of membership to the left, recapturing the loyalty of lapsed adherents, closing the gap in observance between the laity and the standard bearers of the movement, developing the Movement in Israel and world-wide, and strengthening ties with Jewish federations and other Jewish communal bodies. The authors propose that the Conservative Movement's remedying of these problems will benefit not just American, but all world Jewry.

Abstract

One of the earliest Karaite grammatical texts that have come down to us from the Middle Ages, is the Diqduq, by ’Abū Ya‘qūb Yūsuf ibn Nūḥ, of Jerusalem. It is a grammatical commentary on the Hebrew Bible. This volume presents a critical edition of a large section of that Hebrew grammatical text, together with an annotated English translation and a detailed analysis of its contents. The analysis concerns the tradition of Hebrew grammatical thought that was developed in the Middle Ages by grammarians belonging to the Karaite movement of Judaism. The work is an important contribution to the study of the history of Hebrew grammar and to the study of medieval Jewish thought in general. It brings to light, for the first time, one of the major Hebrew grammatical texts from the tenth century, which predates most of the works of the Spanish school of Hebrew grammar.

Abstract

Aan de hand van gedetailleerde en boeiende verhalen over uiteenlopende stromingen als het protestantse fundamentalisme in de Verenigde Staten, het joodse fundamentalisme in Israël en het moslimfundamentalisme in Egypte (soennitisch) en Iran (sjiitisch), toont Armstrong hoe verwant deze stromingen zijn. Ze maakt duidelijk hoe al deze strijdbare bewegingen voortkwamen uit angst voor de moderne wereld - en vaak uit vijandschap en bedreiging door mainstream society. Armstrong onderzoekt de westerse omhelzing van de rede als de enige weg naar waarheid, de fundamentalistische antwoorden daarop, en de eruit voortvloeiende culturele botsingen. Ze ziet de fundamentalistische bewegingen eerder als vernieuwend en modern dan als groeperingen die ons terug in de tijd willen werpen, en ziet hun falen vooral in religieuze termen.
