    1. Quaint: positive or negative?

  • There aren't many books that I recommend, since I usually substantially disagree with much that authors say, but Bevere's book stands out through its mostly accurate grasp of the subject. While I do have some points of digression, these are primarily on points I don't expect Bevere or anyone else to perceive at this point in the prophetic plan. For context, I am currently working on my own book on the fear of ':Elohhiym, and I have been frequently surprised at how often Bevere's comments and observations mirror my own. On this subject, he speaks with substantial accuracy and insight. I admit that some of what he has written here has even prompted some personal motivation and stoked my own personal embers in regard to fear of ':Elohhiym. I would prefer to give the book 4 1/2 stars, but I'm going to round up. This is probably the only five-star review I've given for anything available in Logos so far. On other subjects, I have vast differences of understanding, opinion, and practice with Bevere, but on this issue, I fully recommend this book.

    1. A well-written treatise--I was particularly impressed with Saldarini's assessment of Josephus as a consummate practitioner of Judaism-driven realpolitik, whose traditional core was immovable but whose pragmatic exterior was as amorphous and amoeba-like as he felt was necessary to keep safe the principles and social structures he considered sacred.

      1. I want to thank FL for getting this book into Logos. I suggested this book many months back, and though the wheels often turn slowly, I'll be very eager to read this when it downloads. TY

        1. Another book on a same topic just came out: God's Body: Jewish, Christian, and Pagan Images of God. I'm hoping we'll be able to offer it as well.

        1. The sheer nonsensical contradiction of having "five solas" ought to be a klaxon alert that something is amiss in the theology...but alas, centuries of believers soldier ahead...

          1. Anxiously awaiting the theology of the Square Circle!

        2. Why is this single Neusner title being offered out of the blue? This is probably the most interesting Neusner title offered in Logos so far, but with hundreds of his resources out there, offering just a single title is odd.

          1. As one of the voices that energetically advocated for adding a number of Neusner resources in Logos, of the couple of dozen titles I asked for, I don't think any of them are included in this bundle...or at least as far as I can tell. Despite what Don says, individual titles are not indicated here.The sad thing is, the relative lack of zeal for this collection is no doubt limiting FL's desire and willingness to offer additional titles by Neusner. That's because the choices here are not nearly as relevant to most Logos users as the numerous titles I suggested would have been. So much effort expended for so little progress.

            1. I'm able in 2022 to select dropdowns in the contents and hide owned content here. I just went through the collection and added individual titles to my wishlist. And ones I'm extremely interested in going through sooner rather than later to my shortlist of bookmarked resources to decide whether I should buy them or not before this month's sale is over. I'm excited to see the wealth of these resources, and esp. pre 70 AD Judaism and the volume about How Judaism was reformed in the first century. These will help Christians understand how Jesus' branch of Judaism fit perfectly into the difficulties and discussions Judaism was having at the time, and also how the other surviving branch of Judaism survived this time. With those tools, Christians and Jews would be better able to dialogue about the parallel development of Christianity and Judaism since then, etc. It also should provide excellent context for the New Testament in ways we don't usually hear. How was Christ responding separately to Saduceeism, Zionism, Zealots, Pharisees and answering all the difficulties with Roman occupation at the same time? I strongly suspect answers to this question are nestled away in select volumes included here and am excited to find and be able to begin citing them.

          2. Glad Brill has come to their senses on the price...at least a little.
