However, the ways in which both concepts are understood have changed many times over the ages, and both have different implications for an independent nation in its own land than they do for a community of exiles living as a minority in foreign countries. This book explores the concepts of war and peace throughout the history of Judaism. Combining three branches of learning - classical Jewish sources, from the Bible to modern times; related academic disciplines of Jewish studies, humanities, social and political sciences; and public discussion of these issues on political, military, ideological and moral levels - contributors from Israel and the USA open new vistas of investigation for the future as well as an awareness of the past. Chapters touch on personal and collective morality in warfare, survival though a long and often violent history, and creation of some of the world?s great cultural assets, in literature, philosophy and religion, as well as in the fields of community life and social autonomy. An important addition to the current literature on Jewish thought and philosophy, this book will be of considerable interest to scholars working in the areas of Jewish Studies, theology, modern politics, the Middle East and biblical studies. 410 0$aRoutledge Jewish studies series. 606 $aWar$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aWar$xBiblical teaching 606 $aWar in rabbinical literature 606 $aWar (Jewish law) 606 $aJust war doctrine 606 $aPeace$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aJewish ethics 606 $aWar$xPress coverage$zIsrael 606 $aWar$xPress coverage$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWar$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aWar$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aWar in rabbinical literature. 615 0$aWar (Jewish law) 615 0$aJust war doctrine. 615 0$aPeace$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aJewish ethics. 615 0$aWar$xPress coverage 615 0$aWar$xPress coverage 676 $a296.3/827 676 $a296.3827 676 $a909.04924 702 $aLevin$b Yigal 702 $aShapira$b Amnon 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451753703321 996 $aWar and Peace in Jewish Tradition$91982445 997 $aUNINA
