Vanquished Nation, Broken Spirit : The Virtues of the Heart in Formative Judaism Hardback

Hardback

Description

From the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the Jews were a conquered nation.

Yet Jewish sages and holy works preached a doctrine of both interior and exterior virtue that allowed the Jewish people to feel and believe in the dignity and nobility of their earthly condition.

Neusner's book explores the attitudes in Jewish canonical writings and asks how these virtues relate to the politics of the Jews as a vanquished people.

Jacob Neusner, the author of over 166 books on Judaism and Jewish history, is a frequent lecturer both in America and throughout the world.

He has been a Fulbright Fellow at the Hebrew University, and twice has been a Guggenheim Fellow.
