Produktbeschreibung
Refusing to accept anything but ever-increasing levels of human responsibility within a religious framework, covenantal thinkers audaciously suggest that the covenant empowers humanity as it binds and inhibits divinity. This is a reformulation of recurrent issues within the Jewish tradition, and one which pays homage to the modern context from which it emerges. Hartman and Borowitz grew up in the same mid-century American academic and social environment, and the product of that upbringing has a significant impact on the subsequent theories which they promote. Both thinkers have attracted a considerable following, but very few scholars have discussed them together. Cooper here for the first time works toward understanding their work in comparison with each other, and with covenant as the central focus and framework.
Autorenporträt
"The Land of Shining Teeth" has been a work in progress, evolving slowly over a good many years. The first version of the storyline was originally recorded in Israel, and was intended as an entertaining way to approach children's dental health. As you can see, the message is important and universal. Many years after its original incarnation, the storyline has been translated into English, then modified and adapted to better suit a North American audience. In its present embodiment, "The Land of Shining Teeth" maintains its entertaining value and its educational importance. Please enjoy and share.
