Description
Revolutionary Hebrew, Empire and Crisis offers a historical account of Judaism from biblical times to the formation of the Israeli state, as exemplified through the growth or decline of Hebrew writing. Examining patterns in the social development of Hebrew, Aberbach explicates the role of Hebrew in the survival of Judaism, and sheds light on the significance of literary creativity in ethnic survival.
