Publisher's Synopsis
Israel�������s Hope of Immortality is a collection of four lectures delivered by C. F. Burney in 1909. The book explores the concept of immortality in the Jewish tradition and how it evolved over time. Burney examines the beliefs of the ancient Israelites, the Pharisees, and the rabbis, and how their ideas about the afterlife were shaped by their historical and cultural contexts. He also discusses the influence of Greek philosophy on Jewish thought and how it contributed to the development of the concept of the soul. Burney�������s lectures provide a comprehensive overview of the Jewish understanding of immortality and its importance in shaping Jewish identity and religious practice. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Jewish studies, theology, and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
