Many Jews embraced Hellenism and saw no contradiction or problem in melding \"Jerusalem and Athens.\" Heschel characterized the Hellenization of Jewish theology as an attempt to equate Plato and Moses. Those who embraced this view believed that they said the same thing. Only Plato would say it in Greek and Moses in Hebrew. Consequently, this approach saw Moses as a sort of Hebrew Plato. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite the attempts of Philo of Alexandria, Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, and many others to understand Jewish thinking and Greek thinking as expressing the same ideas and truth, the dissimilarities between the two exist at even linguistic levels, and the more significant distinction between the two types of thinking in a variety of areas become apparent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is Jewish Thinking? Is there a type of thinking that can be characterized as Jewish? If so, what is the difference between Jewish thought and non-Jewish thinking? Does the Bible reflect a type of thinking? Is it linear? Does it correspond to Platonic or Aristotelian thought? How does rabbinic logic work? Are there polarities in the Bible? Discover this and much more in this fascinating aspect of Judaism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierrez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1686629273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781686629273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierrez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978261659903,"sku":"9781686629273","price":10.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e61581bb-4943-4328-9a25-11df6e955cd6.jpg?v=1683240616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-jewish-thinking-juan-marcos-bejarano-gutierrez-9781686629273","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
