Jewish Political Tradition Volume 1 - Authority,
This review is from: The Jewish Political Tradition, Vol.1: Authority (Hardcover)
This book asks a question in its Introduction setting the tone for the rest of the work: "What structure of human authority is required by divine and textual authority?" If that were the only sentence in the book, it would be worth reading.For any reader either Jewish, Christian or Moslem, this book is valuable because it teases from Scripture and history a sense of how humans choose to build governmental and judicial systems in response to what they perceive as being mandated or implied as mandated by divine writ; and how opposing voices test those choices of direction. One words repeatedly comes to mind as I seek to convey a sense of this book's contribution to thought: valuable. |
