Product Description

The gift of the land of Israel by God is an essential element in Jewish identity, religiously and politically. That the gift came at the expense of the local Canaanites has stimulated deep reflections and heated debate in Jewish literature, from the creation of the Bible to the twenty-first century. Israel and Canaan offers nineteen essays on this moral dilemma by renowned international experts in the history of Jewish thought. The essays examine the theological, ethical, and political issues connected with the gift and with the fate of the Canaanites, focusing on classical Jewish texts and major Jewish commentators, legal thinkers, and philosophers from ancient times to the present. The volume sheds light on Jewish exegetical and intellectual creativity in developing interpretive and philosophical strategies to cope with the problem, and will enable a greater understanding of the long history of Jewish reflection on the issue of Israel's sovereignty over the land and its relationship with non-Jewish inhabitants.
