DOWNLOAD EBOOKAnnotation The synagogue was one of the most central and revolutionary institutions of ancient Judaism leaving an indelible mark on Christianity and Islam as well. This commanding book provides an in-depth and comprehensive history of the synagogue from the Hellenistic period to the end of late antiquity. Drawing exhaustively on archeological evidence and on such literary sources as rabbinic material, the New Testament, Jewish writings of the Second Temple period, and Christian and pagan works, Lee Levine traces the development of the synagogue from what was essentially a communal institution to one which came to embody a distinctively religious profile. Exploring its history in the Greco-Roman and Byzantine periods in both Palestine and the Diaspora, he describes the synagogue's basic features: its physical remains; its role in the community; its leadership; the roles of rabbis, Patriarchs, women, and priests in its operation; its liturgy; and its art. What emerges is a fascinating mosaic of a dynamic institution that succeeded in integrating patterns of social and religious behavior from the contemporary non-Jewish society while maintaining a distinctively Jewish character.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This book is a history of the major works on North American Indian religions from the seventeenth century to the present day. It provides the most extensive annotated bibliography of Indian religions ever published in a single work, ranging from the earliest missionary observers through the development of Boasian anthropology to the latest writings from the new ethnography and the history of religions. With its chronological approach, the book far more than a mere bibliography; it is an invaluable survey of the centuries-old interest in and study of spirituality, and offers much needed direction to beginning students and scholars alike. By pointing to the masterworks in the field, by indicating diverse approaches to the topic, by suggesting aspects of study hitherto neglected, and by demonstrating the value of native American religious scholarship to the study of world religions, The Study of North American Indian Religions can stimulate further study of Indian religions." -- Publisher's description
