Biblical Prose Prayer by Moshe Greenberg Pdf

The Psalms are the best known and most widely used prayer texts of the Bible. But the prayers of the Israelite took another form: the prose prayers that we find embedded in biblical narrative. Prose prayer was spoken by persons of all ranks. Male and female, Israelite and foreigner, all enjoyed equal access to God. The pervasiveness and spontaneity of this prayer, independent as it was of the structure and taboos of formal worship, turned it into a criterion for sincerity both in relations with God and in those among human beings. Greenberg finds in this rich life of private prayer a setting for the high religious ideas--and the scathing critique of worship--that characterized the "genius" of the prophets of the eighth and ninth centuries B.C. His compact and masterful study, originally the 1981-1982 Taubman Lectures at Berkeley, suggests an explanation for the unprecedented democratization of worship in post-biblical Judaism.

Jews, Bible and Prayer by Stefan C. Reif Pdf

In his articles Stefan Reif deas with Jewish biblical exegesis and the close analysis of the evolution of Jewish prayer texts. Some fourteen of these that appeared in various collective volumes are here made more easily available, together with a major new study of Numbers 13, an introduction and extensive indexes. Reif attempts to establish whether there is any linguistic, literary and exegetical value in the traditional Jewish interpretation of the Hebrew Bible for the modern scientific approach to such texts and whether such an approach itself is always free of theological bias. He demonstrates how Jewish liturgical texts may illuminate religious teachings about wisdom, history, peace, forgiveness, and divine metaphors. Also clarified in these essays are notions of David, Greek and Hebrew, divine metaphors, and the liturgical use of the Hebrew Bible.

On Earth as in Heaven by David Clark Pdf

Convinced that we can no longer have direct, unmediated access to the sense of Jesus’s prayer but must account for the history of its “effects,” David Clark seeks to trace the meaning of one of Christianity’s most repeated, and thus most “effective” texts through the early centuries of the faith. Clark begins by arguing that the prayer’s original context was in a revival of Jewish prayer, then sets it in the literary context of Gospels that, he argues, represented Jesus as recapitulating Israel’s testing in the wilderness in his own temptation. He then traces the prayer’s meaning within the narratives of Matthew and Luke and in the Didache, then examines the first full commentary on the prayer, that of Tertullian in the third century ce. Clark attends to the evolution of ideas and themes embodied in the prayer and of the understanding of prayer itself across epic transitions, from Judaism to the teaching of Jesus, from Jesus to the Gospels, and from the Gospels to earliest self-consciously “catholic” Christianity. This is an engaging narrative of the history behind and reception of the Lord’s Prayer; it illustrates how a text’s reception may help us explore and understand the multivalent meaning of the text itself.

Prayer in Bible and Talmud by Nahida Remy Pdf

Excerpt from Prayer in Bible and Talmud The following pages, with but few alterations, were written by Frau Nahida Remy, a Christian, who has made a study of Judaism, even to a thorough knowledge of the Hebrew language. She is also the author of "Culturstudien über das Judenthum" (which has now absorbed the present work) and "Das Jüdische Weib." In both productions the greatest sympathy with our people is shown. I consider that we are under an everlasting obligation to this noble-minded woman. Since reading the original, I have been anxious that "Das Gebet in Bibel and Talmud" should circulate among the English-speaking public. Hence my translation. In 1895 Frau Nahida Remy adopted the Jewish faith and became the wife of the renowned Prof. Moritz Lazarus. As Nahida Ruth Lazarus - she wrote "Ich Suchte Dich," (1898) an autobiography of peculiar interest to Jews.

Protest Against God by William Sproull Morrow Pdf

"The Hebrew Bible contains many examples of protest or complaint against God. There are classic cases in the psalms of the individual lament, but we find the same attitude in community complaint psalms, in the prophetic challenges to God, and in the Book of Job. This intellectual history will be welcomed for its scope, its panache and its theological engagement."--BOOK JACKET.

Standing with Israel by Hollisa Alewine,Hollisa Alewine, Ph. D. Pdf

This book offers a new look at Cornelius' and Peter's prayers that opened the door to fellowship between Jewish and non-Jewish believers in Jesus. Standing With Israel explains the events of Acts 10 in the context of the Amidah, the Standing Prayer prayed three times daily by observant Jews. An in-depth study of the prophetic nature of the prayer demonstrates how the Judges of Israel and the infirm woman that Yeshua healed explain the resurrection of Messianic Judaism, growing Christian interest in their Hebraic roots, as well as the "spirit-filled" movements of the last century. Jewish and non-Jewish believers alike are urged to take hold of the unifying prayer to build a house of prayer for all nations. This second edition includes study questions for each chapter, which makes it an excellent resource for Bible study groups looking for a beginner introduction to ancient Jewish prayer.

Ancient Jewish Prayers and Emotions by Stefan C. Reif,Renate Egger-Wenzel Pdf

Given the recent interest in the emotions presupposed in early religious literature, it has been thought useful to examine in this volume how the Jews and early Christians expressed their feelings within the prayers recorded in some of their literature. Specialists in their fields from academic institutions around the world have analysed important texts relating to this overall theme and to what is revealed with regard to such diverse topics as relations with God, exegesis, education, prophecy, linguistic expression, feminism, happiness, grief, cult, suicide, non-Jews, Hellenism, Qumran and Jerusalem. The texts discussed are in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic and are important for a scientific understanding of how Rabbinic Judaism and Early Christianity developed their approaches to worship, to the construction of their theology and to the feelings that lay behind their religious ideas and practices. The articles contribute significantly to an historical understanding of how Jews maintained their earlier traditions but also came to terms with the ideology of the dominant Hellenistic culture that surrounded them.
