2 The Jewish Publication Society New Path of the Prophets The Ethics-Driven Life Rabbi Barry L. Schwartz Illuminating the ethical legacy of the biblical prophets

Illuminating the ethical legacy of the biblical prophets, Path of the Prophets identifies the prophetic moment in the lives of eighteen biblical figures and demonstrates their com- pelling relevance to us today. While the Bible almost exclusively names men as prophets, Rabbi Barry L. Schwartz celebrates heroic, largely unknown biblical women such as Shiphrah, Tirzah, and Han- nah. He also deepens readers’ interpretations of more familiar biblical figures not gener- ally thought of as prophets, such as Joseph, Judah, and Caleb. Schwartz introduces the prophets with creative, first-person retellings of their decisive experiences, followed by key biblical “Rabbi Schwartz brings new life to the men narratives, context, and analysis. He weighs and women of the Bible, ordinary people our heroes’ and heroines’ legacies —their who did extraordinary things —and chal- obstacles and triumphs —and considers how lenges us to do the same, to make the most their ethical examples live on; he guides us of life’s journey.” —Rabbi Sally J.

4 The Jewish Publication Society New Turning Points in Jewish History Marc J. Rosenstein

Elucidating the “big picture” of Jewish history Examining the entire span of Jewish history by focusing on thirty pivotal moments in the Jewish people’s experience from biblical times through the present —essentially the most important events in the life of the Jewish people —Turning Points in Jewish History provides “the big picture”: both a broad and a deep understanding of the Jewish historical experience. Zeroing in on eight turning points in the biblical period, four in Hellenistic-Roman times, five in the Middle Ages, and thirteen in modernity, Marc J. Rosenstein elucidates each forma- tive event with a focused history, a timeline, a primary text with commentary as an intimate window into the period, and a discussion of its legacy for subsequent generations. Along the way he candidly analyzes various controversies “The history of the Jewish people is and schisms arising from Judaism’s encounters remarkable but very difficult to teach. with power, powerlessness, exile, messianism, Here, impressively, Marc Rosenstein rationalism, mysticism, catastrophe, modernity, conveys the drama and complexity of nationalism, feminism, and more.
