Abstract

Most studies of the history of interpretation of Song of Songs focus on its interpretation from late antiquity to modernity. In My Perfect One, Jonathan Kaplan examines earlier rabbinic interpretation of this work by investigating an underappreciated collection of works of rabbinic literature from the first few centuries of the Common Era, known as the tannaitic midrashim. In a departure from earlier scholarship that too quickly classified rabbinic interpretation of Song of Songs as allegorical, Kaplan advocates a more nuanced understanding of the approach of the early sages, who read Song of Songs employing typological interpretation in order to correlate Scripture with exemplary events in Israel's history. Throughout the book Kaplan explores ways in which this portrayal helped shape a model vision of rabbinic piety as well as an idealized portrayal of their beloved, God, in the wake of the destruction, dislocation, and loss the Jewish community experienced in the first two centuries of the Common Era. The archetypal language of Song of Songs provided, as Kaplan argues, a textual landscape in which to imagine an idyllic construction of Israel's relationship to her beloved, marked by mutual devotion and fidelity. Through this approach to Song of Songs, the Tannaim helped lay the foundations for later Jewish thought of a robust theology of intimacy in God's relationship with the Jewish people.

Abstract

Jonathan Kaplan weighs the evidence for genetic determinism of such human traits as intelligence, depression, homosexuality and violence, and argues that neither genes nor the environment alone can explain the complex variations amongst humans. In The Limits and Lies of Human Genetic Research, Jonathan Kaplan weighs in on the controversial subject of the roles genes play in determining aspects of physical and behavioral human variation. Limits and Lies makes the case that neither the information we have on genes, nor on the environment, is sufficient to explain the complex variations among humans.

Abstract

Non loin de Los Angeles, le misérable faubourg d'Anderson a été peu à peu abandonné à la pègre et aux marginaux. Dernier symbole de l'ordre, le commissariat n°13 va fermer ses portes et, avant que téléphone et électricité n'y soient coupés, Leigh, la secrétaire et Julie, la standardiste, emballent matériel et dossiers avec l'aide du lieutenant Bishop. Tard dans l'après-midi, trois condamnés à mort - Wilson, Lawson et Wells - arrivent au commissariat sous la garde de plusieurs policiers et de l'officier Starker: ils sont enfermés dans les cellules du poste. Au même moment, dans une avenue déserte, non loin de là, des voyous tuent un marchand de glaces et une gamine dont le père abat un des meurtriers avant de se réfugier, terrorisé, dans le commissariat où la tension monte...
