In Time and Eternity: A Jewish Reader, edited by Nahum N. Glatzer
- Abstract
Modestly offered as a “reader” in Jewish literature from post-Biblical times through Hasidism, Dr. Glatzer’s anthology goes beyond its claim. For out of these extracts—few of them more than a page or two in length—from the Talmud, the Zohar, the thoughts of Jewish philosophers, historians, theologians, travelers, emerges the over-all pattern of a type of man, the Jew who stood fast for his view of the world during eighteen centuries of hostility and change. In his speculation, his beliefs, and his behavior, this Jew had certain fixed points of support; what some of these were is indicated by the material arranged under such section-titles as “Between God and Man,” “The Pure in Heart,” “Turning to God,” “Parents and Children,” “Mercy and Truth.”
