Divine Scapegoats is a wide-ranging exploration of the parallels among the heavenly and the demonic in early Jewish apocalyptical debts. In those fabrics, antagonists frequently reflect gains of angelic figures, or even these of the Deity himself, an inverse correspondence that suggests a trust that the demonic realm is maintained by way of imitating divine fact. Andrei A. Orlov examines the sacerdotal, messianic, and creational features of this mimetic imagery, focusing totally on texts from the Slavonic pseudepigrapha: 2 Enoch and the Apocalypse of Abraham. those works are a part of a truly detailed cluster of Jewish apocalyptic texts that show good points not just of the apocalyptic worldview but additionally of the symbolic universe of early Jewish mysticism. The Yom Kippur ritual within the Apocalypse of Abraham, the divine mild and darkness of 2 Enoch, and the similarity of mimetic motifs to later advancements within the Zohar are of specific value in Orlov’s consideration.

Die preisgekrönten Journalisten Georg M. Hafner und Esther Schapira legen mit ihrer Streitschrift den Finger in die Wunde. Viele Deutsche haben mit Israel ein challenge, weil es ein Judenstaat ist. Aber es gibt kein Tabu, Israel zu kritisieren, wie gern behauptet wird. Das wirkliche Tabu ist es, sich zu Israel zu bekennen. Denn ob Linke, Rechte oder die Mitte der Gesellschaft - in einem sind sich alle einig: Israel ist an allem schuld.
Die Autoren entlarven die unheilvolle Allianz aus deutscher Schuldabwehr, Antisemitismus und religiösem Judenhass von Christen und Muslimen. Eine entlarvende und provozierende Streitschrift.
