Vanquished Nation, Broken Spirit - The Virtues of the Heart in Formative Judaism (Hardcover)

From the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. to the
creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the Jews were a conquered
nation. Yet Jewish sages and holy works preached a doctrine of both
interior and exterior virtue that allowed the Jewish people to feel
and believe in the dignity and nobility of their earthly condition.
Neusner's book explores the attitudes in Jewish canonical writings
and asks how these virtues relate to the politics of the Jews as a
vanquished people. Jacob Neusner, the author of over 166 books on
Judaism and Jewish history, is a frequent lecturer both in America
and throughout the world. He has been a Fulbright Fellow at the
Hebrew University, and twice has been a Guggenheim Fellow.
