PDF From Shame to Sin: The Christian Transformation of Sexual Morality in Late Antiquity (Revealing Antiquity) by Kyle Harper in History

Description

The first great modern migration of the Jewish people; from the Old World to America; has been often and expertly chronicled; but until now the second great wave of Jewish migration has been overlooked. After World War II; spurred by a postwar economic boom; American Jews sought new beginnings in the nation's South and West. There; they shaped a new; postwar style of American Judaism for the second half of the twentieth century. Today these sun-soaked; entrepreneurial communities contribute greatly to the American Jewish landscape. In this book; the vibrant Jewish culture of Los Angeles and Miami comes to life through Moore's skillful weaving of individual voices; dreams; and accomplishments.
