Jewish Views of the Afterlife Reading with Simcha Raphael

Jewish Views of the Afterlife Reading with Simcha Raphael

Presented by Big Blue Marble Bookstore at Big Blue Marble Bookstore

December 3, 2009

Jewish Views of the Afterlife is a unique historical and philosophical study tracing the evolution of ideas about individual postmortem survival in Judaism. Originally published in 1994, this book has become a classic in its time, the most comprehensive examination of life after death in Judaism available in English. Surveying a far-ranging assortment of texts on life after death in Bible, Apocrypha, Rabbinic literature, medieval philosophy, medieval legendary Midrash, and the Jewish mystical traditions of Kabbalah and Hasidism, this book presents an extensive portrayal of the ever-changing notions of life after death over a period of almost four millennia.
