RT Book T1 The Hebrew republic: Jewish sources and the transformation of European political thought A2 Nelson, Eric 1977- LA English PP Cambridge, Mass PB Harvard University Press YR 2010 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1654653748 AB "According to a commonplace narrative, the rise of modern political thought in the West resulted from secularization - the exclusion of religious arguments from political discourse. But in this work Eric Nelson argues that this familiar story is wrong. Instead, he contends, political thought in early-modern Europe became less, not more, secular with time, and it was the Christian encounter with Hebrew sources that provoked this radical transformation."--BOOK JACKET NO Includes bibliographical references and index. - Description based on print version record CN JC67 SN 9780674056749 SN 0674056744 K1 Jews : Politics and government : To 70 A.D K1 Judaism and politics : History of doctrines K1 Political Science : History : Europe K1 Politics in rabbinical literature K1 Political Science : Europe : History K1 PHILOSOPHY ; Political K1 RELIGION ; Judaism ; History K1 Civilization ; Jewish influences K1 Jews ; Politics and government K1 Judaism and politics ; History of doctrines K1 Political Science K1 Rabbinische Literatur K1 Rezeption K1 Politische Philosophie K1 History K1 Europe : Civilization : Jewish influences : Europa : Europe K1 Europe : Civilization : Jewish influences K1 Europa K1 Europe K1 Electronic books : History
