Introduction; 1. A wealth of cultures; 2. Scripture and interpretation in Israel's cultures; 3. Song of songs - a paradigm of cultural changes; 4. The commandments in Israel's cultures; 5. The three-fold tension in Jewish cultures; 6. Historical knowledge in the cultures of faith; 7. Historical consciousness in the Emancipation culture; 8. The struggle for self-affirmation; 9. Conclusions and implications.
In this volume, Professor Shmueli, a distinguished Israeli scholar, has synthesized history, philosophy, biblical scholarship, sociology, literature and psychology into an original and profound view of Jewish history. Jewish history is viewed as an unfolding of seven successive systems of cultures, where each culture emerges in its time both as a rebel and a successor of previous cultures.
