Books in the Studies In Jewish Civilization series

The papers in this collection examine the ways in which Jews have been presented in photography, music, film, television, drama, literature and cultural mythology. The papers were delivered at Creighton University in 1995 as part of the eighth Annual Kluznick Symposium in Jewish Civilization.

These 14 papers present a varied exploration of the ways in which the Hebrew Biblie has influenced the modern world, and the ways in which the modern world has influenced how we read and interpret Sacred Writ.

Recognises that Jews have often experienced or imaged periods of exile and return in their long tradition. The fourteen papers in this collection examine this phenomenon from different approaches, genres, and media. They cover the period from biblical times to today.
