The Atheism of Scripture offers up a paradox: its audacious thesis is that the Word or revealed scripture can be better understood without God. It must be decrypted or analyzed atheistically, that is, not as divine revelation, but in and of itself. The first part of the book addresses contemporary science. It puts the evolution of ideas about life and knowledge as conceived by today's biological and cognitive sciences into perspective and shows how the genealogy of ethics must be approached in a new way. The second part takes up this challenge by putting classical philosophy in dialogue with the Talmud and the Kabbalah to advance a non-dualistic anthropology of the body and the mind.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 254mmItem Length: 178mmAuthor: Henri AtlanTranslator: Lenn SchrammContributor: Lenn Schramm (Translated by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Cultural Memory in the PresentRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
