Review of Appelbaum's The Rabbis' King-Parables: Midrash from the Third-Century Roman Empire in the Journal for the Study of Judaism vol. 43.3

The Journal for the Study of Judaism (vol. 43.3 (2012), p. 380-381) published a review of Alan Appelbaum's The Rabbis' King-Parables: Midrash from the Third-Century Roman Empire (Judaism in Context 7) by Eric Ottenheijm of Utrecht University who concludes:

Most innovative is his reading of the parable narratives as reflective of Roman history. A. makes it plausible to read parables against the background of political turbulences in the eastern provinces... A.’s study is reflective of a methodological watershed in the study of rabbinic narratives. The scepticism, which denies these narratives historical value and instead relies on individual documents as reflective of all sorts of “Judaisms,” is fading. A. succeeds in showing the necessity to employ Roman sources and material culture to comment on details in the fictive narratives. This approach should be extended to synoptic parables (king parables are discussed in an appendix) and 2nd c. rabbis. Thus, A.’s well written book shows promising ways for studying the mesmerizing literature called parables.

God and Man in History by Corneliu C. Simu?

List Price: $176.80 (today yours for only $159.12)

ISBN 978-1-4632-0228-6

Ferdinand Christian Baur’s thought about religion focuses on the idea of Gnosis in close connection with the notion of history, but rather than favor a traditional approach, he prefers a different path: a “new” understanding of religion which draws quite heavily on Hegel’s philosophy, promoting the idea that history is the realm where God and man exist and work together.



In the Arms of Biblical Women by John Greene

List Price: $188.50 (today yours for only $169.65)

ISBN 978-1-4632-0231-6

The Bible revolves around people and their passions. Passionate love, passionate jealousy, faith, beauty, and betrayal. The characters portrayed there are as full of contemporary emotion and confusion, and equally as pertinent as any figure in Western tradition – historical, fictional, or mythic.

The Double-Edged Sword by Susan Graham

List Price: $178.75 (today yours for only $160.88)

ISBN 978-1-60724-085-3

The Bible is often used rhetorically as a polemical weapon to defend community consciousness and self-identity. Specialists from several different disciplines explore such rhetorical use of biblical narratives from the time of Second Temple Judaism through late antiquity, to sharpen or dull the crisis and conflict erupting between Christian and Jew, Greek, and other Christians.
