About This Item

Manchester University Press, Manchester, 1990. XII,122p. Bound wrps. 'The Jewish Bible after the Holocaust' is a slender volume of great weight. Emil Fackenheim, the distinguished philosopher and religious thinker, combines his keen philosophical rigor and autobiographical reflections in articulating a post-Auschwitz biblical hermeneutic. He uses the 1926 position of Martin Buber as his own point of departure. Buber had written that 'each generation (needs to) struggle with the Jewish Bible, even at the cost of emerging with a mixture of 'vexation'and 'defiance', on the one hand, though 'readiness to listen and obey,' on the other. The result is Fackenheim's most sustained and systematic (re)reading of the 'naked text'(the term is Franz Rosenzweig's) of the Bible in light of the twentieth century's two root experiences, Auschwitz and the State of Israel. Fackenheim's task is to struggle with the 'two-dimensional abyss' between 'non-Aryan' Jews and 'Aryan' Christians on the one hand, and between Jews and Christians on the one side and the respective Bible of each on the other.' (ALAN BERGER in Journal of the American Academy of Religion, 1993, p.598).

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity

Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
