Spanning the rich history of Judaism from the Bible to today, David Biale shows how the secular tradition these visionaries created is a uniquely Jewish one, and how the emergence of Jewish secularism was not merely a response to modernity but arose from forces long at play within Judaism itself. Biale explores how ancient Hebrew books like Job, Song of Songs, and Esther downplay or even exclude God altogether, and how Spinoza, inspired by medieval Jewish philosophy, recast the biblical God in the role of nature and stripped the Torah of its revelatory status to instead read scripture as a historical and cultural text. Biale examines the influential Jewish thinkers who followed in Spinoza's secularizing footsteps, such as Salomon Maimon, Heinrich Heine, Sigmund Freud, and Albert Einstein. He tells the stories of those who also took their cues from medieval Jewish mysticism in their revolts against tradition, including Hayim Nahman Bialik, Gershom Scholem, and Franz Kafka. And he looks at Zionists like David Ben-Gurion and other secular political thinkers who recast Israel and the Bible in modern terms of race, nationalism, and the state. Not in the Heavens demonstrates how these many Jewish paths to secularism were dependent, in complex and paradoxical ways, on the very religious traditions they were rejecting, and examines the legacy and meaning of Jewish secularism today. 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$yModern period, 1750- 606 $aSecularization (Theology)$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aJudaism and secularism 606 $aSecularism 606 $aJews$xCultural assimilation 606 $aJews$xIdentity 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aSecularization (Theology)$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aJudaism and secularism. 615 0$aSecularism. 615 0$aJews$xCultural assimilation. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 676 $a296.3/7 700 $aBiale$b David$f1949-$0451366 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785362603321 996 $aNot in the heavens$93832282 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01929oas 2200649 a 450 001 9910694362803321 005 20251105213014.0 035 $a(OCoLC)166253540 035 $a(CONSER) 2007230187 035 $a(CKB)1000000000439008 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000439008 100 $a20070822b200520uu sa a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aTechUpdate 210 $aAlexandria, Va. $cMissile Defense Agency 215 $a1 online resource (volumes) 300 $a"A quarterly newsletter for MDA technology transfer." 311 08$a1945-5003 517 3 $aTech Update 517 1 $aMDA TechUpdate 606 $aTechnology transfer$zUnited States$vPeriodicals 606 $aBallistic missile defenses$xTechnological innovations$vPeriodicals 606 $aBallistic missile defenses$xTechnological innovations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00826093 606 $aTechnology transfer$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01145295 607 $aUnited States$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 615 0$aTechnology transfer 615 0$aBallistic missile defenses$xTechnological innovations 615 7$aBallistic missile defenses$xTechnological innovations. 615 7$aTechnology transfer. 676 $a338 712 02$aTechnology Applications Program (U.S.) 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 801 2$bNSD 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGPO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGILDS 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGPO 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910694362803321 996 $aTechUpdate$93176767 997 $aUNINA
