The Babylon Complex: Theopolitical Fantasies of War, Sex, and Sovereignty
by Erin RunionsBabylon is a surprisingly multivalent symbol in U.S. culture and politics. Political citations of Babylon range widely, from torture at Abu Ghraib to depictions of Hollywood glamour and decadence. In political discourse, Babylon appears in conservative ruminations on democratic law, liberal appeals to unity, Tea Party warnings about equality, and religious advocacy for family values. A composite biblical figure, Babylon is used to celebrate diversity and also to condemn it, to sell sexuality and to regulate it, to galvanize war and to worry about imperialism.Erin Runions explores the significance of these shifts and contradictions, arguing that together they reveal a theopolitics that tries to balance the drive for U.S. dominance with the countervailing ideals and subjectivities of economic globalization. Examining the confluence of cultural formations, biblical interpretations, and (bio)political philosophies, The Babylon Complex shows how theopolitical arguments for war, sexual regulation, and political control both assuage and contribute to anxieties about waning national sovereignty. Theoretically sophisticated and engaging, this remarkable book complicates our understanding of how the Bible affects U.S political ideals and subjectivities.

The Babylonian Talmud
by Michael L. RodkinsonThis is the most vital manuscript of conventional Judaism and the basic tool for learning the ethics behind its customs and regulations. The original text of the Babylonian Talmud. This English translation includes: - Standards of appointing judges to the supreme court (Sanhedrin), regulations of civil and criminal cases, when is someone acquitted or accused. - Regulations regarding the high priest, when he can judge or be judged. And regulations regarding the ruler, how many wives he can have, how much property he can own, etc. - Penalties due for criminal cases, including the four kinds of death penalty prescribed and how they ought to be executed. Enumeration of those who come under the category of stoning, burning, slaying, or choking. Who is considered a murderer deserving capital punishment and who is to be exiled. - Many more interpretations from the Torah, as this is considered to be the supplementing commentary to the five books of Moses. Folk sayings from The Talmud: "Either a friend or death." "He who has been bitten by a snake is scared of a rope." "Poverty follows the poor."
The Babylonian Talmud and Late Antique Book Culture
by Monika AmslerIn this book, Monika Amsler explores the historical contexts in which the Babylonian Talmud was formed in an effort to determine whether it was the result of oral transmission. Scholars have posited that the rulings and stories we find in the Talmud were passed on from one generation to the next, each generation adding their opinions and interpretations of a given subject. Yet, such an oral formation process is unheard of in late antiquity. Moreover, the model exoticizes the Talmud and disregards the intellectual world of Sassanid Persia. Rather than taking the Talmud's discursive structure as a sign for orality, Amsler interrogates the intellectual and material prerequisites of composers of such complex works, and their education and methods of large-scale data management. She also traces and highlights the marks that their working methods inevitably left in the text. Detailing how intellectual innovation was generated, Amsler's book also sheds new light on the content of the Talmud. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
The Bach Family: Seven Generations of Creative Genius (Routledge Revivals)
by Karl Geiringer Irene GeiringerWhen this volume was originally published in 1954 it was the first complete history of the Bach family from the 16th Century miller Veit to Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst (1759-1845), Johann Sebastian’s grandson. The author views the family as a whole and shows the characteristic similarities in their artistic and human attitudes as well as the most significant divergences. Equal stress is laid on the discussion of the personalities, against the swiftly changing historical scene, and on the music, for which the author was able to use vast, hitherto inaccessible material. Apart from describing the fascinating phenomenon of this musical family, the author gives a history of musical thought in the last 300 years.
