Law, Religion, and Technology
For a journal of law and religion, the decision to confront changes and challenges imposed by novel technologies is no trivial one, yet it is one the Journal of Law and Religion is undertaking. 1 Whether the perspective of law and religion is even of any use in comprehending and contending with these technologies is a valid question. Contemporary technologies have reshaped our lifestyles, and their ubiquitous impact on our erstwhile habits and pe…
‘One Flesh’ in Ecclesiastical Tradition and in Karaite Law
The emerging field of ‘law and religion’ is an integrative extension of legal studies with another academic field, and it encompasses the study of further themes and topics as informed by the nexus of these two disciplines. Yet, it is also about reconsidering traditional conceptions of and attitudes towards law and the character of law. The study of law and religion injects new blood into old inquiries; it invites a revision of jurisprudential co…
Selfness and Kinship in Medieval Karaite Incest Laws
This essay traces the formation of notions of selfness and kinship in medieval Karaite law through analysis of commentaries on the prohibitions to marry close-kin members. By examining what it takes to become a relative within kinship, either consanguineal or affinal kin-ties, the study explores different notions of selfness that stand at the base of these legal trends and approaches. It also brings forward Karaite texts that have largely been ig…
Others-in-Law”
Religious legalism encompasses a wide range of attitudes that assign religious meaning to legal content or to legal compliance. The phenomenology of religious legalism is assuming a significant role in various contemporary debates about legal pluralism, accommodation of religious minorities, religious freedom, and so forth. This article revises this conception and the commonplace equation of Judaism and legalism. It suggests that we ought to rega…
Divinity, Law, and the Legal Turn in the Study of Religions
While histories of ideas in premodern perspectives habitually understood history as divisions of fixed periods, modernists tend to narrate these histories in terms of flowing streams curving through timelines, intersections, and junctions. Crucial moments, accordingly, are turns and returns, shifts and orientations. I am not sure what it takes to diagnose and proclaim an intellectual turn or how to affirm or refute such a phenomenon, but I take t…
Jurisprudence and Theology
Beyond the Janus Face of Zionist Legalism
What are the assumptions that underline the Jewish Law Project? To what extent is this project relates to Zionism as a political program and national vision? Does the secular version of this project and the religious one have anything in common? I argue that aside from the ideological lines that guide the Jewish Law Project, within it rests a reductionist and utopianist stance vis-à-vis halakhah which are considered to be obvious. I shall attempt…
Aristophanes and Athenian society of the early 4th century B.C
The purposes of this short monograph are to identify and analyze the problems of Athenian society with which the last two extant plays of Aristophanes - the Ekklesiazousai and the Ploutos - are concerned, as well as to examine the playright's views on the essence of these problems and on attempts to find satisfactory solutions to them. The work contains an introduction and seven sections: 1. Historical Background; 2. Poverty: Symptoms, Ideas rega…
