Description

"Drawing on multiple interconnected scriptural and spiritual sources, the Jewish tradition of ethical reflection is intricate and nuanced. This book presents scholarly Jewish perspectives on suffering, healing, life, and death, and it compares them with contemporary Christian and secular views." "The Jewish perspectives presented in this book are mainly those of orthodox scholars, with the responses representing primarily Christian-Catholic points of view."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

Baruch (or Benedict) Spinoza (b. Amsterdam, 24 November 1632; d. 21 February 1677) was among the most important philosophers in early modern Europe and has often been called the greatest of the Jewish philosophers-possibly also the greatest of the Jewish theologians.
