War And Peace In Jewish Tradition: From The Biblical World To The Present

Synopsis

The transition between the reality of war and a hope for peace has accompanied the Jewish people since biblical times. 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 × 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.
