Another Zionism, Another Judaism: The Unrequrited Love of Rabbi Marcus Ehrenpreis
by Göran RosenbergA timely, deeply personal biography of a Jewish leader whose questions for Israel have come back to haunt us with a vengeance.Born in what is now Lviv, Ukraine, in 1869, Marcus Ehrenpreis was the secretary of Theodor Herzl at the First Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897, a grand rabbi of Bulgaria during two Balkan wars, a diplomat in defense of Europe&’s minorities, a Swedish author compared to Joseph Conrad, the chief rabbi of one of Europe&’s few unscathed Jewish communities through the Nazi era. More than a biography of a man's life and work, this book is a literary journey by award-winning Swedish Jewish writer and public intellectual Göran Rosenberg (A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz), in search of that European Jewish world of meaning and hope that Ehrenpreis so clearly embodied, so vividly articulated, and so relentlessly worked to explain, defend, and salvage from his pulpit in Stockholm. His lifelong dream was to build a bridge between &“Israel&” and &“the peoples,&” and he believed that he could do so by bringing a spiritually and culturally revitalized Judaism into a new and self-asserted contact with the non-Jewish world. His Zionism was not about making Jews a nation like all others, in a nation-state like all others, but creating a spiritual and cultural center for the renaissance of Jewish life &“amidst the nations.&” Even as Jewish life in Europe was all but annihilated, he feared what Jewish nationalism might do to the spiritual heritage of Judaism.A meticulously researched and beautifully written story of boundless hope, unrequited love, and annihilated possibilities, Another Zionism, Another Judaism evokes a diasporic Jewish existence that would be harshly judged in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel. It also reminds us of a Zionism that strived for something other than an ethnic-national fortress on a narrow strip of land in the Middle East.
Anousim Awake! The Story of a Hidden Jewess
by Gracia Serrano FennThe author belongs to the Sephardim but did not know her true identity as a Jew until 1999 when her 87 year-old father finally confirmed her feeling that she is Jewish. She wrote this story in order to help other people who are struggling with their identities as the result of being a persecuted minority. [THE FOLLOWING QUOTES ARE TAKEN FROM THE BACK COVER OF THE BOOK:] “These lost Sephardim (Spanish Crypto-Jews) were thought to have disappeared, after their forced expulsion in the 1492 Spanish Inquisition. The full effect in the Iberian Peninsula (later Portugal) sent them scattering to the New World and elsewhere. The Prophet Obadiah (Ovadia) expressed this Torah version of return to Israel by their descendants many centuries ago (Obadiah 1:20-21). His words in the Tanach (Jewish scriptures) continue to shed light to the very outskirts of the Diaspora to this select group of Hispanic-Jewish connection, now arising to their true identity and return. . . ‘Somos Judios--We are Jews’ ”. Further, Rabbi Ezray wrote “This [book] is a beautiful journey of return to Jewish roots. Unlocking the secrets of the past profoundly impact the present in ways, both painful and joyful. It leads into the future with new possibilities and connections. Gracia Serrano's story is one of discovery and sheds light on history and faith. I know her story will have a profound impact on many people: fellow B'nai Anousim, the Jewish community, and those who enjoys stories of discovery and faith. As a rabbi in the Jewish community, I thank Gracia for her story and the strength it gives to the Jewish community.”

Anselm of Canterbury and his Theological Inheritance: The Beauty Of Theology (Great Theologians Ser.)
by Giles E.M. GasperAnselm of Canterbury is one of the most famous of medieval Christian thinkers, who left a considerable political and intellectual inheritance of his own. This book reveals that the theological and intellectual inheritance available to Anselm was more dynamic, broader and deeper than is traditionally thought and Anselm was influenced by more than just the works of St Augustine. Giles Gasper focuses particularly on the part played by the translated works of the Greek Fathers. Demonstrating how widely the writings of the Fathers of the Church were available in western libraries, Gasper goes on to compare key aspects of doctrine in Anselm's thought with that of the notable Greek Fathers. Questioning the way in which Anselm and other authors have been described, this book moves away from well worn routes of interpretation and provides new perspectives on this most significant figure in the history of the church, the middle ages, and western thought.
Anselm of Canterbury: The Beauty of Theology (Great Theologians Series)
by David S. HoggAnselm is a major figure in theological, philosophical and historical studies. This book provides a fresh approach to the study of this great figure; one which provides critical interaction with current critical thinking whilst arguing in favour of the idea of theological unity in Anselm's corpus. Exploring the Proslogion, but also more 'minor' works, David Hogg interacts with the theological content of Anselm's writings: showing how Anselm's ontological argument fits into the wider context of his theology; comparing the holistic approach of Anselm's thought with that of other medieval personages and fitting him into the wider medieval context; and revealing how Anselm's theology integrates the atonement and questions of predestination, the fall of the Devil and free will, and other issues. The book concludes with an assessment of the impact of Anselm's theology during his own time, and the continuing effect his thinking has had on succeeding centuries of theological development.
Anselm's Other Argument
by A. D. SmithAnselm of Canterbury (1033-1109 CE), in his work Proslogion, originated the "ontological argument" for God's existence, famously arguing that "something than which nothing greater can be conceived," which he identifies with God, must actually exist, for otherwise something greater could indeed be conceived. Some commentators have claimed that although Anselm may not have been conscious of the fact, the Proslogion as well as his Reply to Gaunilo contains passages that constitute a second independent proof: a "modal ontological argument" that concerns the supposed logical necessity of God's existence. Other commentators disagree, countering that the alleged second argument does not stand on its own but presupposes the conclusion of the first. Anselm's Other Argument stakes an original claim in this debate, and takes it further. There is a second a priori argument in Anselm (specifically in the Reply), A. D. Smith contends, but it is not the modal argument past scholars have identified. This second argument surfaces in a number of forms, though always turning on certain deep, interrelated metaphysical issues. It is this form of argument that in fact underlies several of the passages which have been misconstrued as statements of the modal argument. In a book that combines historical research with rigorous philosophical analysis, Smith discusses this argument in detail, finally defending a modification of it that is implicit in Anselm. This "other argument" bears a striking resemblance to one that Duns Scotus would later employ.

Answer to Job: (From Vol. 11 of the Collected Works of C. G. Jung) (Jung Extracts #27)
by C. G. JungConsidered one of Jung's most controversial works, Answer to Job also stands as Jung's most extensive commentary on a biblical text. Here, he confronts the story of the man who challenged God, the man who experienced hell on earth and still did not reject his faith. Job's journey parallels Jung's own experience--as reported in The Red Book: Liber Novus--of descending into the depths of his own unconscious, confronting and reconciling the rejected aspects of his soul. This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London. Described by Shamdasani as "the theology behind The Red Book," Answer to Job examines the symbolic role that theological concepts play in an individual's psychic life.
Answered Prayer
by E. M. BoundsThe utmost possibilities of prayer have rarely been realized. The promises of God are answered to those who truly pray. His promises to answer, to do, and to give "all things," "anything," "whatsoever," and "all things whatsoever" are so very large, so very great, and so exceedingly broad that it almost staggers our faith and causes us to hesitate with astonishment. All God asks is that, when we pray, we believe Him and that His promises in His Word are true.
Answered Prayer… Guaranteed!: The Power of Praying with Faith
by Frederick KC PricePrice explains a biblical and experientially based method of prayer. It will provoke assurance and confidence that God hears your prayers and answers them. Most Christians struggle with their commitment to prayer and wrestle with a proper prayer attitude and even posture. Price debunks the teaching on prayer that says, “Sometimes God says yes, sometimes He says no, and sometimes He says wait.” He teaches how God responds to faith and faith alone, and why it is critical for us to understand how to pray in faith and not in doubt, ignorance, or presumption.
Answering God

Peterson guides readers through the Psalms, offering insight and perspective to empower readers to dive more deeply and intimately into prayer.

Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus - Volume 5
by Michael L. BrownMichael Brown provides a comprehensive refutation of the traditional [orthodox] Jewish concept that there is a binding, authoritative Oral Law going back to Moses. While showing great respect for his people's traditions, Brown dispels the idea that only traditional Jews can rightly understand the Hebrew Scriptures. He demonstrates that the written Word alone carries absolute authority, and when there is a conflict between the Bible and tradition, Jews are called to follow the Bible. This study will revolutionize the lives of both Jewish and Christian readers. Brown discusses other topics besides problems with the Oral Law such as showing how Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. Brown supports his ideas with extensive documentation from Christian, Jewish, and Messianic Jewish scholars, and from other sources. Even for those readers who do not practice Judaism, Christianity, or Messianic Judaism, this book will enlighten their understanding of what Traditional Jewish people believe about Jesus and Christianity. Michael L. Brown (Ph.D., New York University) is a Jewish believer in Jesus who has been active in dialogue, debate, and interaction with rabbis and countermissionaries for more than thirty-five years. He is the founder and president of FIRE School of Ministry in Concord, North Carolina, and has served as a visiting or adjunct professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Denver Theological Seminary, Fuller Theological Seminary, Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary (Charlotte), The King's Seminary, Southern Evangelical Seminary, and Regent University School of Divinity.

by Michael L. Brown"Jewish people commonly raise objections to Christianity based on the New Testament. In the fourth volume of his highly regarded series, Michael Brown explains the Christian response to thirty-four such objections. He addresses questions about issues such as how the New Testament quotes and interprets the Old Testament, the historical accuracy of the New Testament, apparent contradictions in the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament, pagan influences on Christian teachings, and whether Jesus abolished the Torah. With detailed responses based on careful research of the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinic texts, and the New Testament, Brown thoroughly and respectfully answers these objections and invites Jewish seekers to consider the possibility that the new covenant they have been waiting for is already here."
