Some historians have distorted these records for anti-Semitic purposes. Others have discounted, dismissed, or simply ignored the evidence, often for apologetic purposes. In Reckless Rites, Elliott Horowitz takes a new and forthright look at both the history of Jewish violence since late antiquity and the ways in which generations of historians have grappled with that history. In the process, he has written the most wide-ranging book on Jewish violence in any language, and the first to fully acknowledge and address the actual anti-Christian practices that became part of the playful, theatrical violence of the Jewish festival of Purim. He has also examined the different ways in which the book of Esther, upon which the festival is based, was used by Jews and Christians over the centuries--whether as an ancient mirror of modern tribulations or as the scriptural basis for anti-Semitic claims regarding the bloodthirstiness of the Jews.Reckless Rites reassesses the historical interpretation of Jewish violence--from the alleged massacre of thousands of Christians in seventh-century Jerusalem to later medieval attacks on Christian symbols such as the crucifix, transgressions that were often committed in full knowledge that their likely consequence would be death. A book that calls for major changes in the way that Jewish history is written and conceptualized, Reckless Rites will be essential reading for scholars and students of history, religion, and Jewish-Christian relations.Sprache: EnglischHerstellungsland und -region: USHöhe: 235mmLänge: 152mmGewicht: 482gBuchreihe: Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern WorldTitle Format: TaschenbuchInformation fehlt?Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Details fehlen und wir werden diese solange möglich zu unserer Beschreibung hinzufügen., Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Buchtitel: Reckless Rites, Subtitle: Purim and the Legacy of Jewish Violence, ISBN-10: 0691138249, EAN: 9780691138244, Genre: Philosophy & Spirituality, Erscheinungsdatum: 22.09.2008, Sprache: Englisch, Herstellungsland und -region: US, Höhe: 235mm, Länge: 152mm, Gewicht: 482g, Buchreihe: Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern Worl, Princeton University Press<
