However, the ways in which both concepts are understood have changed many times over the ages, and both have different implications for an independent nation in its own land than they do for a community of exiles living as a minority in foreign countries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the concepts of war and peace throughout the history of Judaism. Combining three branches of learning - classical Jewish sources, from the Bible to modern times; related academic disciplines of Jewish studies, humanities, social and political sciences; and public discussion of these issues on political, military, ideological and moral levels - contributors from Israel and the USA open new vistas of investigation for the future as well as an awareness of the past. Chapters touch on personal and collective morality in warfare, survival though a long and often violent history, and creation of some of the world's great cultural assets, in literature, philosophy and religion, as well as in the fields of community life and social autonomy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn important addition to the current literature on Jewish thought and philosophy, this book will be of considerable interest to scholars working in the areas of Jewish Studies, theology, modern politics, the Middle East and biblical studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yigal Levin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367865149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367865146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.70d","brand":"Yigal Levin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761348800767,"sku":"9780367865146","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_edaba149-3039-4a04-ace1-0ee2daa8661c.jpg?v=1706681076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-and-peace-in-jewish-yigal-levin-9780367865146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
