Gershom Scholem - 1974

With origins extending back in time beyond the Dead Sea Scrolls, the body of writings and beliefs known as the Kabbalah has come to be increasingly recognized not only as one of the most intriguing aspects of Judaism but also as an important part of a broader mystical tradition.

Here is one of the most enlightening studies ever to plumb its complex depths and range over its rich history, written by the late Gershom Scholem, the world's leading authority on the Kabbalah.

The Ordeal of Civility : Freud, Marx, Levi-Strauss & the Jewish Struggle with Modernity

John Murray Cuddihy - 1974

The ordeal, says Cuddihy, is the "unconsummated social courtship of Gentile and Jew," focused on the predicament of the Jew, caught between his rough, loving community (Yiddishkeit) and the Gentile "host culture/etiquette" that he wants to assimilate.

Cuddihy calls it the trauma of culture shock for a decolonized people. National Book Award finalist (Philosophy), 1975.

Hebrew Christianity: Its Theology, History, And Philosophy

Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum - 1974

Despite its esoteric title, this down-to-earth book deals with the many thorny realities facing every Jewish believer.

It addresses a wide range of the practical and theological issues that arise when a Jewish person accepts Jesus as Messiah and seeks membership and fellowship in a local church, yet rightly desires to maintain lifelong community and national identities. The book is broad in scope, citing the major themes of Hebrew Christianity today - and careful in detail, wrestling with controversial matters raging within and without the messianic movement.
