\""A manual for living with defeat\"" \u2014Tablet\nIt is no more possible to think about religion without sin than it is to think about a garden without dirt.\nBy its very nature, the ideals of religion entail sin and failure. Judaism has its own language and framework for sin that expresses themselves both legally and philosophically. Both legal questions\u2014circumstances where sin is permissible or mandated, the role of intention and action\u2014as well as philosophical questions\u2014why sin occurs and how does Judaism react to religious crisis\u2014are considered within this volume. This book will present the concepts of sin and failure in Jewish thought, weaving together biblical and rabbinic studies to reveal a holistic portrait of the notion of sin and failure within Jewish thought.\nThe suffix \""agogue\"" means\n\nSin\u2022a\u2022gogue\nSin and Failure in Jewish Thought\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail ;
