What Do Our Neighbors Believe? Second Edition

Questions and Answers on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

By: Micah Greenstein,Kendra G. Hotz,John Kaltner

The current social and political climate makes it easy to benefit from religious misunderstanding. Political and religious leaders create fear of the religious other in order to drum up support for themselves. But the best way to combat deliberate misrepresentation is to provide accurate, timely information about the three great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Originally published in 2007, What Do Our Neighbors Believe? Second Edition organizes the three belief systems, asking the same questions of each: When and where did each originate? What are the sacred writings? What kind of leaders does each have? What are their most essential beliefs? New sections explore current ethical questions and issues, including the deliberate use of misinformation about Islam to bolster power and generate fear and the recent rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes. By introducing the common aspects of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the authors make understanding their genuine differences and their many similarities much more possible.

Job

A New Translation

By: Edward L. Greenstein

This revelatory new translation of Job by one of the world’s leading biblical scholars will reshape the way we read this canonical text The book of Job has often been called the greatest poem ever written. The book, in Edward Greenstein’s characterization, is “a Wunderkind, a genius emerging out of the confluence of two literary streams” which “dazzles like Shakespeare with unrivaled vocabulary and a penchant for linguistic innovation.” Despite the text’s literary prestige and cultural prominence, no English translation has come close to conveying the proper sense of the original. The book has consequently been misunderstood in innumerable details and in its main themes. Edward Greenstein’s new translation of Job is the culmination of decades of intensive research and painstaking philological and literary analysis, offering a major reinterpretation of this canonical text. Through his beautifully rendered translation and insightful introduction and commentary, Greenstein presents a new perspective: Job, he shows, was defiant of God until the end. The book is more about speaking truth to power than the problem of unjust suffering.

Judaism

An Eternal Covenant

By: Howard R. Greenstein

Greenstein has succeeded in producing a work that is a feat of skill and ingenuity. He has reached out to embrace the whole world of Jewish thought, practice, and aspiration -- a religion, a yearning, and a way of life that goes back for well over three thousand years. Here we have the essence of Jewish history and theology, all in ten well-written chapters. -- Jacob Rader Marcus American Jewish Archives Howard R. Greenstein served as senior rabbi of Congregation Ahavath Chesed in Jacksonville, Florida, from 1972 to 1995 and is currently the spiritual leader of the Jewish Congregation of Marco Island in Marco Island, Florida. He has taught Judaic Studies at the University of Florida, University of North Florida, Jacksonville University, and Florida Gulf Coast University. In addition to several articles and reviews, he is also the author of 'Turning Point: Zionism and Reform Judaism' and coauthor of 'What Our Neighbors Believe: Judaism, Christianity and Islam' (forthcoming).

Beloved

By: Susan Adler Thorp,Greenstein Micah

Early rabbis referred to a cemetery as a house of the living. Beloved promises to show you why. Since its creation 173 years ago by one of Memphis, Tennessee's earliest Jewish settlers, the Temple Israel Cemetery has become a permanent place of beauty. It serves as an everlasting tribute to the history of the Memphis Jewish community, and it stands as a testament to the love of memory no matter where you live or where your loved ones rest. Through the keen and artistic eye of photographer Murray Riss, the Temple Israel Museum was able to create an unforgettable photography exhibit entitled Beloved, which is also the word most often used on the cemetery's gravesites. Murray Riss spent countless hours photographing Temple Israel's sixteen-acre cemetery for more than a year and through all four seasons. Through these exquisite photographs, now everyone can experience the solemnity and beauty of this sacred ground. Temple Israel Museum commissioned this book as well as the photographic exhibit of the Temple Israel Cemetery, Beloved, offering an amazing experience of the historic cemetery not often seen.
