The hyphenated phrase 'in-visibility' indicates that the visible and the invisible are inseparable and yet in tension with each other. If originating from acts of (in)visibilization, both the visible and the invisible are ethically imbued. Whether we see or overlook each other, respect or dismiss another's dignity, remember or forget a history of crimes against humanity, our (over)sight has an impact on our interaction. What, then, is implied in seeing the human being as created in the image of an invisible God, as imago Dei ? Which (re)sources in Judaism and Christianity can counter idolatry in the sense of cognitive captivity and experiences of abandonment after the Shoah? In addressing such questions, this book outlines an ethics of in-visibility in an interdisciplinary dialogue between philosophy and theology, cultural history, art and media theory, sociology, literary and gender studies.

After tracing the debate on Jewish emancipation in the late 18th century, and the upsurge of antisemitism in the early 19th century, surveys the image of the Jew in German and Austrian literature and in theatrical performances of the period, and the response of critics and the public. The Jew, one of the favorite burlesque figures of the Hans-Wurst theater (the German parallel to the commedia del arte) remained so when plays were written down in the late 18th century. If it was not in the text, the actors supplied it. Even in plays meant to plead for the Jews in the spirit of the Enlightenment, the Jewish hero was often a mixture of noble and burlesque. Lessing's philosemitic dramas met with sharp criticism and were not always understood by the public. In adaptations of "The Merchant of Venice", both the villainous and the burlesque sides of Shylock were accentuated. Later on, the pretensions to culture of assimilated Jews - especially young Jewesses - became the butt of satire. Antisemitism reached new levels of viciousness in the writings of C.W.F. Grattenauer and of members of the "Christlich-deutsche Tischgesellschaft".

Between 1749 and 1850--the formative years of the so-called Jewish Question in Germany--the emancipation debates over granting full civil and political rights to Jews provided the topical background against which all representations of Jewish characters and concerns in literary texts were read. Helfer focuses sharply on these debates and demonstrates through close readings of works by Gotthold Lessing, Friedrich Schiller, Achim von Arnim, Annette von Droste- Hülshoff, Adalbert Stifter, and Franz Grillparzer how disciplinary practices within the field of German studies have led to systematic blind spots in the scholarship on anti-Semitism to date.

Throughout the eighteenth century, an ever-sharper distinction emerged between Jews of the old order and those who were self-consciously of a new world. As aspirations for liberation clashed with adherence to tradition, as national, ethnic, cultural, and other alternatives emerged and a long, circuitous search for identity began, it was no longer evident that the definition of Jewishness would be based on the beliefs and practices surrounding the study of the Torah. In The Origins of Jewish Secularization in Eighteenth-Century Europe Shmuel Feiner reconstructs this evolution by listening to the voices of those who participated in the process and by deciphering its cultural codes and meanings. On the one hand, a great majority of observant Jews still accepted the authority of the Talmud and the leadership of the rabbis; on the other, there was a gradually more conspicuous minority of "Epicureans" and "freethinkers." As the ground shifted, each individual was marked according to his or her place on the path between faith and heresy, between devoutness and permissiveness or indifference. Building on his award-winning Jewish Enlightenment, Feiner unfolds the story of critics of religion, mostly Ashkenazic Jews, who did not take active part in the secular intellectual revival known as the Haskalah. In open or concealed rebellion, Feiner's subjects lived primarily in the cities of western and central Europe—Altona-Hamburg, Amsterdam, London, Berlin, Breslau, and Prague. They participated as "fashionable" Jews adopting the habits and clothing of the surrounding Gentile society. Several also adopted the deist worldview of Enlightenment Europe, rejecting faith in revelation, the authority of Scripture, and the obligation to observe the commandments. Peering into the synagogue, observing individuals in the coffeehouse or strolling the boulevards, and peeking into the bedroom, Feiner recovers forgotten critics of religion from both the margins and the center of Jewish discourse. His is a pioneering work on the origins of one of the most significant transformations of modern Jewish history.

This book brings together fascinating discussions of the way in which Muslim and Jewish beliefs and practices are represented in modern literary texts of poetry, fiction and drama. The chapters collected here consider elements of the expression of Judaism and Islam in modern literature. Key topics such as religious ideas and teachings, aspects of mysticism, the tenets of religion, uses made of sacred texts, religion and popular culture and reflections of religious controversies are covered. While there is an embodied comparative element to the chapters, the essays are not confined by comparisons and cover a wide range of the literary expression of religious issues. With contributions from a group of international scholars, all of whom are experts in the field and each of whom has brought a particular perspective to the topic, this book is a significant contribution to, and will stimulate further research on, the various literatures treated, reflection on comparative work on these two cultural traditions, and new interest in literary expressions of religion and religiousness in general.

In Part 1 of A New Image, put yourself in the sandals of Noah, Joseph, Moses, and Joshua, who foreshadow things to come-they are models of the image of Jesus. In a makeover, one usually doesn't know where to start. When one sees the wide-reaching effect of these four individuals by their complete obedience to the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel), there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. Actually, this book may inspire one to read the most interesting stories found anywhere-the stories in the Bible. In Part 2, there are personal stories told by witnesses of the signs and wonders that are happening to them in today's time-and absolutely "supernaturally!" Several people give witness, confirming why they are developing a "new image" in Jesus by embracing their Hebrew roots-leading to a closer relationship with Yeshua (His name in Hebrew) through immersion in and obedience to the Torah, where one goes to learn even more about Him because He is the Word, the truth, and the light.
