(Amos 3:3) -- The national Bible vs. the cultural Bible -- The golden age of biblical culture -- From golden age to decline.This work, the first of its kind, describes all the aspects of the Bible revolution in Jewish history in the last two hundred years, as well as the emergence of the new biblical culture. It describes the circumstances and processes that turned Holy Scripture into the Book of Books and into the history of the biblical period and of the people - the Jewish people. It deals with the encounter of the Jews with modern biblical criticism and the archaeological research of the Ancient Near East and with contemporary archaeology. The middle section discusses the extensive involvement of educated Jews in the Bible-Babel polemic at the start of the twentieth century, which it treats as a typological event. The last section describes at length various aspects of the key status assigned to the Bible in the new Jewish culture in Europe, and particularly in modern Jewish Palestine, as a "guide to life" in education, culture and politics, as well as part of the attempt to create a new Jewish man, and as a source of inspiration for various creative arts.Studia Judaica (Walter de Gruyter & Co.) ;Bd. 38.RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old TestamentbisacshBabel-Bible Controversy.Biblical Criticism.Hebrew Bible.Near Eastern Archeology.Old Testament.RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament.221.6/0903411.24bclShaviṭ Yaʻaḳov1944-Eran MordechaiShavit JacobMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911144065703321UNINA
