Heine's Jewish comedy: a study of his portraits of Jews and Judaism

Prawer, Siegbert Salomon
"Thoroughly readable....A fascinating introduction to the world of the Jew in 19th-century Europe, viewed through the eyes of a brilliant and perceptive artist."--AB Bookman's Weekly. "A first-rate eye-opener, a fascinating compendium of the profound struggle toward a more integrated humanity."--Choice. The work of the great 19th-century German poet Heine is rich with verbal portraits of men and women, real and imaginary, contemporary and historical, ranging from Karl Marx and the Rothschilds to Spinoza and characters from the Bible. Drawing on material only recently made available, as well as letters and recorded conversations, Prawer has produced a work which is at once a study of the technique of literary portraiture, and a panorama of the Jewish world throughout the ages.

Johann Andreas Eisenmenger
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.

Antignostikus Geist Des Tertullianus (1825)

August Neander
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.
