In this volume, Professor Shmueli, a distinguished Israeli scholar,
has synthesized history, philosophy, biblical scholarship,
sociology, literature and psychology into an original and profound
view of Jewish history. Jewish history is viewed as an unfolding of
seven successive systems of cultures, where each culture emerges in
its time both as a rebel and a successor of previous cultures. Each
presents itself as a distinct and often startlingly different
framework in which the meaning of Jewish life is always interpreted
anew. In this sense, Jewish history may be said to have undergone
seven great 'Renaissances'. Seven Jewish Cultures emphasizes the
chasm which divides the five 'cultures of faith' from the secular
cultures of the Emancipation and nationalist-Israeli periods.
Shmueli argues that the cultures of modernity have created a new
frame of reference for the Jewish people. No longer is Jewish
history viewed as a divine drama, and no longer is the Bible seen
as the hermeneutical key to all Jewish problems.
