Abstract

In 1523, a man named David Reubeni appeared in Venice, claiming to be the ambassador of a powerful Jewish kingdom deep in the heart of Arabia. In this era of fierce rivalry between great powers, voyages of fantastic discovery, and brutal conquest of new lands, people throughout the Mediterranean saw the signs of an impending apocalypse and envisioned a coming war that would end with a decisive Christian or Islamic victory. With his army of hardy desert warriors from lost Israelite tribes, Reubeni pledged to deliver the Jews to the Holy Land by force and restore their pride and autonomy. He would spend a decade shuttling between European rulers in Italy, Portugal, Spain, and France, seeking weaponry in exchange for the support of his hitherto unknown but mighty Jewish kingdom. Many, however, believed him to favor the relatively tolerant Ottomans over the persecutorial Christian regimes. Reubeni was hailed as a messiah by many wealthy Jews and Iberia's oppressed conversos, but his grand ambitions were halted in Regensburg when the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, turned him over to the Inquisition and, in 1538, he was likely burned at the stake. Diary of a Black Messiah is the first English translation of Reubeni's Hebrew-language diary, detailing his travels and personal travails. Written in a Hebrew drawn from everyday speech, entirely unlike other literary works of the period, Reubeni's diary reveals both the dramatic desperation of Renaissance Jewish communities and the struggles of the diplomat, trickster, and dreamer who wanted to save them.

Abstract

These essays by eminent European intellectual and cultural historian Anson Rabinbach address the writings of key figures in twentieth-century German philosophy. Rabinbach explores their ideas in relation to the two world wars and the horrors facing Europe at that time. Analyzing the work of Benjamin and Bloch, he suggests their indebtedness to the traditions of Jewish messianism. In a discussion of Hugo Ball's little-known Critique of the German Intelligentsia, Rabinbach reveals the curious intellectual career of the Dadaist and antiwar activist turned-nationalist and anti-Semite. His examination of Heidegger's "Letter on Humanism" and Jaspers's The Question of German Guilt illuminates the complex and often obscure political referents of these texts. Turning to Horkheimer and Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment, Rabinbach offers an arresting new interpretation of this central text of the critical theory of the Frankfurt School. Subtly and persuasively argued, his book will become an indispensable reference point for all concerned with twentieth-century German history and thought.

Abstract

Die Frage nach der Heilshoffnung der nicht an den Messias Jesus glaubenden Juden wird im zeitgenössischen theologischen Diskurs primär mit Verweis auf die paulinischen Aussagen in Röm 9-11 beantwortet, die sich für den jüdisch-christlichen Dialog als anschlussfähig erweisen, aber im Neuen Testament isoliert erscheinen. Mit dem lukanischen Doppelwerk liegt jedoch ein wichtiger Zeuge aus späterer Zeit vor, dessen Autor nicht weniger als Paulus um die Frage nach der Zukunft Israels gerungen hat.Die Monographie stellt das Potential des lukanischen Ansatzes vor, indem sie zunächst auf die Parallelen in der Behandlung der Israel-Thematik bei beiden Autoren aufmerksam macht und alttestamentlich-biblische Traditionen zur Heilshoffnung Israels, die von Paulus und Lukas rezipiert werden, untersucht. Im Hauptteil wird in eingehenden Textanalysen aus verschiedenen Teilen des Doppelwerks gezeigt, dass auch Lukas - in biblischer Tradition, jedoch mit einem anderen theologischen Konzept als Paulus - an einer eschatologischen Hoffnung für Israel festhält. Trotz wichtiger Gemeinsamkeiten beider Autoren findet sich bei Lukas ein eigenständiger Entwurf zum Thema, dessen spezifisches Profil abschließend herausgestellt wird.
