On the Word of a Jew: Religion, Reliability, and the Dynamics of Trust

Nina Caputo

4.9/5 (11543 ratings)

Description:Fourteen essays examining the dynamics of trust and mistrust in Jewish history from biblical times to today.What, if anything, does religion have to do with how reliable we perceive one another to be? When and how did religious difference matter in the past when it came to trusting the word of another? In today's world, we take for granted that being Jewish should not matter when it comes to acting or engaging in the public realm, but this was not always the case. The essays in this volume look at how and when Jews were recognized as reliable and trustworthy in the areas of jurisprudence, medicine, politics, academia, culture, business, and finance. As they explore issues of trust and mistrust, the authors reveal how caricatures of Jews move through religious, political, and legal systems. While the volume is framed as an exploration of Jewish and Christian relations, it grapples with perceptions of Jews and Jewishness from the biblical period to today, from the Middle East to North America, and in Ashkenazi and Sephardi traditions. Taken together these essays reflect on the mechanics of trust, and sometimes mistrust, in everyday interactions involving Jews."Highly readable and compelling, this volume marks a broadly significant contribution to Jewish studies through the underexplored dynamic of trust." --Rebekah Klein-Pejsov�, author of Mapping Jewish Loyalties in Interwar Slovakia"An exemplary compendium on how to engage with a major concept--trust--while providing load of gripping new information, new theorization of otherwise well-covered material, and meticulous attention to textual and sociological sources." --Gil Anidjar, author of Blood: A Critique of ChristianityWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
