Thanks, Mr. Akenson, to say the very least." ~ROGER ROSENBLATT. With wit, elegance, and clarity, Surpassing Wonder illummates the ancient Hebrew scriptures, the Christian "New Testament," and the Talmuds of the Rabbis. Over the past thousand years, these documents have been a source of worship and a subject of study. At times they have been accessible to the people, and at other times they have been hidden from us. Most recently, the effect of religious and scholarly fundamentalism has been to cover them with layers of interpretation and exegesis. This makes it more difficult for the ordinary person to encounter the texts and to experience their wisdom and power. Now, in this magisterial work, historian Donald Harman Akenson takes a radical historical look at these founding documents. Studying them and the surrounding scholarship, Akenson has arrived at a new and galvanizing understanding. He argues persuasively that these founding texts are best understood if they are each regarded as having been written by one author~editor. He then brings the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds into clear focus, as no other writer has done. Using images that range from tractor mechanics to Winnie~the~Pooh, Akenson explains how Western civilization was created not by the Greeks of Athens or the patricians of Rome but by the desert worshippers of Yahweh. Akenson's interpretation is brilliant. charming, and persuasive, even as his narrative is riveting. He attacks those who over the millennia have sought to keep these words from the populace~and he opens our eves to the grandeur and the greatness of scripture.…

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. First U.S. No additional standard domestic shipping on this heavy book. About As New in all respects in a price-clipped, protected dust jacket. Clean and unmarked. Notes, appendices, indexed. "This is a historian's refreshing account of the "invention" of three scriptures and the subsequent flowering of the religions that emerged from them. Differing from creation de novo, "invention," in Akenson's sense, collates and edits pre-existing materials and unifies them under a new, overarching scheme. Thus, the Judahite ("Old Testament") scripture was invented during the Babylonian Captivity (597-538 B.C.E.) by Judean exiles who hoped to rebuild the Jerusalem Temple as God's dwelling among men. Judeans followed their Temple-oriented faith until the Romans destroyed both temple and faith in 70 C.E. Two new faiths deriving from Judahism, namely Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism, perforce posited a new and immaterial temple where God dwelt in the human heart. In spite of its difficult subject matter, this book is a pleasure to read. Akenson (history, Queen's Univ.; research, Univ. of Liverpool) enjoys his study and shows it in lively prose.
