The encounter between Jews and Greeks marked one of the most revolutionary meetings in the ancient world, for in that encounter politics, economics, culture, and religion changed dramatically. Victor Tcherikover, who devoted his entire scholarly life to the study of the Hellenistic period, offers here a benchmark assessment of that encounter. In this reprinted edition of his most famous work, including a new preface by University of Chicago Professor John J. Collins, Tcherikover uniquely combines "analyses of two of the most intriguing episodes of Jewish history in antiquity: the events that led to the Maccabean rebellion and the struggle for rights in Alexandria in the first century CE" (from the preface).

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Das Buch ""Antignostikus Geist des Tertullianus"" von August Neander, das im Jahr 1825 ver������ffentlicht wurde, besch�����ftigt sich mit dem Werk des Kirchenvaters Tertullian. Neander untersucht Tertullians Haltung gegen�����ber der Gnosis, einer antiken philosophischen Bewegung, die sich mit dem Streben nach Erkenntnis und Wahrheit besch�����ftigte. Tertullian lehnte die Gnosis als unvereinbar mit dem christlichen Glauben ab und vertrat stattdessen eine strenge orthodoxe Position. Neander analysiert Tertullians Schriften und stellt die Bedeutung seiner Argumente f�����r die Entwicklung des fr�����hen Christentums dar. Das Buch bietet eine gr�����ndliche und detaillierte Untersuchung von Tertullians Gedanken und ist ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Erforschung der fr�����hchristlichen Theologie.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
