Exiled primordially (Eden), during the Patriarchal era, in the sixth century bce, and from the first century to the twentieth, the Jewish experience of alienation has been the historical backdrop against which affirmations of divine benevolence have been constructed. While histories of Jewish thought have tended to accentuate the speculative creativity of medieval and modern Jewish philosophers, the intellectual tradition can come into focus only with attention to these thinkers' understanding of diaspora and persecution. Ralph Keen describes the distinguishing feature of Jewish thought as a religious hermeneutic in which the primitive promise made to Abraham is preserved not just as a pious memory but as a certain hope for eventual restoration. Intended for readers with some familiarity with the history of philosophy, this book offers the historical context necessary for understanding the distinctively Judaic character of this tradition of thought, and elucidates the role of religious experience in the long process of negotiating between adversity and expectation."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aContinuum studies in Jewish thought. 606 $aExile (Punishment) 606 $aFaith (Judaism) 606 $aJews$xHistory 606 $aJews$xRestoration 606 $aRedemption$xJudaism 606 $aTrust in God$xJudaism 606 $2Judaism 615 0$aExile (Punishment) 615 0$aFaith (Judaism) 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xRestoration. 615 0$aRedemption$xJudaism. 615 0$aTrust in God$xJudaism. 676 $a296.3 700 $aKeen$b Ralph$0800780 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780809803321 996 $aExile and restoration in Jewish thought$93825613 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02826nam 2200625Ia 450 001 996247976803316 005 20240416174112.0 010 $a0-8018-9330-5 024 7 $a2027/heb31685 035 $a(CKB)2520000000007571 035 $a(dli)HEB31685 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000340105 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11233218 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000340105 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10387172 035 $a(PQKB)10644472 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3318435 035 $a(OCoLC)550604785 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse2639 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3318435 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10363149 035 $a(OCoLC)923194174 035 $a(MiU)MIU01000000000000012937905 035 $a(EXLCZ)992520000000007571 100 $a20070507d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmnummmmuuuu 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe mantra of efficiency $efrom waterwheel to social control /$fJennifer Karns Alexander 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aBaltimore $cJohns Hopkins University Press$dc2008 215 $a1 online resource (xvii, 233 p. )$cill. ; 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a0-8018-8693-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.
