Synopsis

""Tohu-Va-Vohu, Without Form And Void: A Collection Of Fragmentary Thoughts And Criticisms"" is a book written by Alfred Edersheim and published in 1890. The book is a collection of the author's thoughts and criticisms on various subjects, presented in a fragmentary form. The title of the book is taken from the Hebrew words used in the Bible to describe the state of the earth before God created light. The author uses this metaphor to describe the chaotic state of the world of his time. The book covers a wide range of topics, including religion, philosophy, literature, art, and social issues. The author presents his ideas and opinions in a concise and accessible manner, making the book suitable for both scholars and general readers. The book is a reflection of the author's deep thinking and his ability to connect seemingly unrelated ideas. Overall, ""Tohu-Va-Vohu, Without Form And Void: A Collection Of Fragmentary Thoughts And Criticisms"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the world of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About this title

About the Author

Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889) nacido en Austria, en el seno de una familia judia acomodada, curso estudios sobre la Thora y el Talmud en escuelas rabinicas y de lenguas en la Universidad de Viena. Al emigrar a Hungria, se convirtio al cristianismo por la influencia del presbiteriano escoces John Duncan, marcho a Escocia, donde curso estudios de teologia en el New College de Edimburgo y fue ordenado ministro de la Iglesia presbiteriana en 1846. En 1875 se unio a la Iglesia Anglicana, dedicandose a dar conferencias sobre judaismo y cristianismo en la Universidad de Oxford, que finalmente se convertirian en gruesas obras literarias. Desde entonces, Edersheim ha sido mundialmente reconocido y apreciado, como el hombre que mejor ha sabido analizar y explicar al mundo cristiano el contexto de usos y costumbres judaicas que forman el contexto historico del Antiguo Testamento y Nuevo Testamento. Sus dos obras fundamentales y mundialmente conocidas, reeditadas en ingles hasta el dia de hoy son: Old Testament Bible History y The Life and Times of Jesus de Mesiah.
