Wie die Überwindung von Krisensituationen die Gestalt des Judentums beeinflusst hat.


The political, social, cultural, and religious crises Jews encountered in their long history influenced the development of Jewish culture, thought, and religion. The authors describe how Jews coped with these threatening events, especially how they consequently had to rethink and shape their Jewish identity anew.

A graduate of the Hebrew University and the University of Chicago, Yaakov Ariel’s research focuses on messianic, hybrid, or radical movements in contemporary Judaism and Christianity, as well as on Christian-Jewish relations in the Modern Era. He has published numerous articles as well as a number of books on these topics. His book, Evangelizing the Chosen People, won the Outler Prize of the American Society of Church History. His latest book, An Unusual Relationship: Evangelical Christians and Jews, was published by New York University Press in 2013. Ariel teaches at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he is currently co-director of the Center for Jewish Studies, and director of the Minor in the Study of Christianity and Culture.
