The Gate to Perfection: The Idea of Peace in Jewish Thought

By (author) Rabbi Professor Dr. Walter Homolka, Homolka





This book is currently unavailable. Enquire to check if we can source a used copy


| book description |

A timely book: as Israelis and Arabs are moving towards a settlement, this study offers a valuable historical dimension, from the Jewish point of view, to the main issue involved, i.e., the idea of peace. The authors maintain that peace has always played an important role in Jewish thought, that in fact Judaism as a religion is characterized by the striving for peace. They reach this conclusion after having examined a variety of sources, ranging from the biblical texts of Old Israel to the Talmudic tradition and Jewish Philosophy of Religion up until the twentieth century.
