Book Description

November 2002 0700715908 978-0700715909 1st
The expulsion from Spain did not only result in the destruction and dispersion of Spanish Jewry but led to a crisis in Jewish faith. Don Isaac Abravanel provided a systematic treatment of the main philosophical and theological beliefs of Judaism in an attempt to resolve the inner doubts of his co-religionists. In their Italian exile his son Judah too recognized that Jews were now living in a new cultural world, but he forged a different road for Jews to pursue in their entry into the culture of the Renaissance. This book presents a picture of one family facing the challenges of a new era in Jewish history.

First Sentence:
Since the biographical facts and course of Abravanel's multifarious life have been adequately treated by several authors, most notably Bentzion Netanyahu, it will be sufficient for our purpose merely to present a summary of the salient features of the life of this most versatile and yet ambivalent figure. Read the first page
