DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe fraught history of England's Long Reformation is a convoluted if familiar story: in the space of twenty-five years, England changed religious identity three times. In 1534 England broke from the papacy with the Act of Supremacy that made Henry VIII head of the church; nineteen years later the act was overturned by his daughter Mary, only to be reinstated at the ascension of her half-sister Elizabeth. Buffeted by political and confessional cross-currents, the English discovered that conversion was by no means a finite, discrete process. In Fictions of Conversion, Jeffrey S. Shoulson argues that the vagaries of religious conversion were more readily negotiated when they were projected onto an alien identity—one of which the potential for transformation offered both promise and peril but which could be kept distinct from the emerging identity of Englishness: the Jew. Early modern Englishmen and -women would have recognized an uncannily familiar religious chameleon in the figure of the Jewish converso, whose economic, social, and political circumstances required religious conversion, conformity, or counterfeiting. Shoulson explores this distinctly English interest in the Jews who had been exiled from their midst nearly three hundred years earlier, contending that while Jews held out the tantalizing possibility of redemption through conversion, the trajectory of falling in and out of divine favor could be seen to anticipate the more recent trajectory of England's uncertain path of reformation. In translations such as the King James Bible and Chapman's Homer, dramas by Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Jonson, and poetry by Donne, Vaughan, and Milton, conversion appears as a cypher for and catalyst of other transformations—translation, alchemy, and the suspect religious enthusiasm of the convert—that preoccupy early modern English cultures of change.

Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ... RESTORATION AND CONVERSION OF THE JEWS. The history of the Jewish race, their present condition, and their future destiny, together with the peculiar and wonderful circumstances and considerations connected with the subject, stand, for interest and importance, unparalleled and alone. Through them are we possessed of the knowledge of the origin of the human family, and the history of the early ages of the world. Thoy alone, of all the nations of the earth, can trace back their origin to the first of men, our common progenitor, who came forth from the plastic hand of his Maker a model of human perfection. Among them alone was preserved the knowledge of the true and living God, during the lapse of idolatrous ages, when the Gentile world were causing their children to pass through the fire as a sacrilice to Moloch, or prostrating themselves in adoration before a crocodile or a cat, or falling down, at the sound of ravishing music, before a golden god. In their behalf, Jehovah bared his arm in the sight of all nations, pouring out his fury on the land of Ham; cleaving for them a passage through the deep; slaking their thirst in a desert region with water from the flinty rock; allaying their hunger with "angel's" food; and causing even the sun and the moon to stop their career in mid heaven, for the destruction of their foes! Their Moses chronicled history divine, and attuned his lyre to notes of heavenly minstrelsy, and promulged t"he moral code announced by the Deity amid the thunderings and lightnings of Sinai, long ere Sanconiiithon saw the light, or the people of Homer, of Solon, and Lycurgus were numbered among the nations. Their Joshua led Iheir valiant hosts to victory and to i niquost, while as yet the land of the Macedonian hero was...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book traces the role of Judaism and the Jewish people in God's plan for the salvation of mankind, from Abraham through the Second Coming, as revealed by the Catholic faith and by a thoughtful examination of history. It will give Christians a deeper understanding of Judaism, both as a religion in itself and as a central component of Christian salvation. To Jews it reveals the incomprehensible importance, nobility and glory that Judaism most truly has. It examines the unique and central role Judaism plays in the destiny of the world. It documents that throughout history attacks on Jews and Judaism have been rooted not in Christianity, but in the most anti-Christian of forces. Areas addressed include: the Messianic prophecies in Jewish scripture; the anti-Christian roots of Nazi anti-Semitism; the links between Nazism and Arab anti-Semitism; the theological insights of major Jewish converts; and the role of the Jews in the Second Coming. "Perplexed by controversies new and old about the destiny of the Jewish people? Read this book by a Jew who became a Catholic for a well-written, provocative, ground-breaking account. Some of the answers most have never heard before." Ronda Chervin, Ph.D., Hebrew-Catholic

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA historical tour de force, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a groundbreaking account of Jewish and Israeli history. Exploding the myth that there was a forced Jewish exile in the first century at the hands of the Romans, Israeli historian Shlomo Sand argues that most modern Jews descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. In this iconoclastic work, which spent nineteen weeks on the Israeli bestseller list and won the coveted Aujourd'hui Award in France, Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel's future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores why English Christians, from the early modern period onwards, believed that their nation had a special mission to restore the Jews to Palestine. It examines English support for Jewish restoration from the Whitehall Conference in 1655 through to public debates on the Jerusalem Bishopric in 1841. Rather than claiming to replace Israel as God’s “elect nation”, England was “chosen” to have a special, but inferior, relationship with the Jews. Believing that God “blessed those who bless” the Jewish people, this national role allowed England to atone for ill-treatment of Jews, read the confusing pathways of providence, and guarantee the nation’s survival until Christ’s return. This book analyses this mode of national identity construction and its implications for understanding Christian views of Jews, the self, and “the other”. It offers a new understanding of national election, and of the relationship between apocalyptic prophecy and political action.
