Jeremy Cohen Livres

From 17 to 21 October 1993, some two dozen scholars from the United States, Israel and the European Community convened at the Herzog August Bibliothek, to explore the subject of the Jews and Judaism in medieval Christian thought. Twenty of these papers, revised by their authors for publication, haven been collected in the present volume. The topics of the papers can be divided into four groups which provide this volume with its thematic structure: Foundations Theology of the High Middle Ages Church, State, and Jew in France and Spain Mentalities of the Later Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Reformation

Exploring the profound significance of God's name, this book delves into theological insights and spiritual practices that highlight the importance of reverence and worship. It examines how believers can honor God's name through their actions and attitudes, emphasizing the transformative power of sanctification in everyday life. Through biblical teachings and personal reflections, readers are encouraged to deepen their relationship with God and understand the sacredness of His name in both personal and communal contexts.

Each of the hypotheses that Jere Cohen finds in Weber's text represents a potential mechanism through which Puritanism could have exerted its econmic influence. The aim of the book as a whole is to determine how Puritanism exerted its influence on capitalism, how many mechanisms were at work and how powerful the impact might actually have been.

The book explores how Solomon ibn Verga's Shevet Yehudah serves as a crucial link between the medieval and early modern eras. It highlights the text's reflection of a contemporary awareness of the transformative shifts in society, indicating the emergence of a new order that was beginning to supplant traditional structures. Through this lens, Cohen delves into the historical and cultural implications of ibn Verga's work, emphasizing its significance in understanding the transition between these pivotal periods.
