{"product_id":"new-heavens-and-a-new-jeremy-brown-9780197584330","title":"New Heavens and a New Earth: The Jewish Reception of Copernican Thought","description":"In this ground-breaking study of the Jewish reception of the Copernican revolution, Jeremy Brown examines four hundred years of Jewish writings on the Copernican model. Brown shows the ways in which Jews ignored, rejected, or accepted the Copernican model, and the theological and societal underpinnings of their choices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout\u003cem\u003e New Heavens and a New Earth\u003c\/em\u003e are deft historical studies of such colorful figures as Joseph Delmedigo, the first Jewish Copernican and a student of Galileo; Tuviah Cohen, who called Copernicus the \"Son of Satan;\" Zelig Slonimski, author of a collection of essays on Halley's Comet; and contemporary Jewish thinkers who use Einstein's Theory of Relativity to argue that the Earth does not actually revolve around the sun. Brown also provides insightful comparisons of concurrent Jewish and Christian writings on Copernicus, demonstrating that the Jewish reception of Copernicus was largely dependent on local factors and responses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197584330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197584330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Jeremy Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991079256319,"sku":"9780197584330","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac7cfd11-1543-4ed8-9c12-e2c65586e059.jpg?v=1683308317","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-heavens-and-a-new-jeremy-brown-9780197584330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
