This book interprets the Hebrew Bible through the lens of Levinas's religious philosophy. Richard I. Sugarman examines the Pentateuch using a phenomenological approach, drawing on both Levinas's philosophical and Jewish writings. Sugarman puts Levinas in conversation with biblical commentators classical and modern, including Rashi, Maimonides, Sforno, Hirsch, and Soloveitchik. He particularly highlights Levinas's work on the Talmud and the Holocaust. Levinas's reading is situated against the background of a renewed understanding of such phenomena as covenant, promise, different modalities of time, and justice. The volume is organized to reflect the fifty-four portions of the Torah read during the Jewish liturgical year. A preface provides an overview of Levinas's life, approach, and place in contemporary Jewish thought. The reader emerges with a deeper understanding of both the Torah and the philosophy of a key Jewish thinker"-- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Bible. $p Pentateuch $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 600 10 $a Levinas, Emmanuel. 600 17 $a Levinas, Emmanuel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00046641 630 07 $a Bible. $p Pentateuch. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01808093 650 0 $a Jewish philosophy $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Jewish philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730516 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a SUNY series in contemporary Jewish thought. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017012554.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B45A4E8A586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
