|  | Ashkenaz: The German Jewish Heritage by Gertrude Hirschler
The companion book to an exhibition at the Yeshiva University Museum in New York. The early history of Ashkenazic Jewry demonstrates the remarkable persistence of tradition - a persistence that helped German Jews retain their identity through repeated crusades, the Black Death, libels and accusations, burnings, and dispersion through Europe. Much of the material in the show had never before been seen by the public. |
| ![]() | Science and Hebrew Tradition by Thomas H. Huxley
The issue of science versus religion is as old as the Renaissance. A new bombshell was brought to this issue when Charles Darwin discovered natural selection as the mechanism of evolution. Known as “Darwin’s bulldog”, Thomas Huxley anticipated modern-day discussions on the issue of science and religion. Among the topics included here are evolution versus Genesis, the authorship of the Pentateuch, and a history of paleontology. Huxley’s final offering is an anthropological study of the evolution of theology. For the student who wishes to trace the history of this debate, Huxley is essential reading. |
