Political Hebraism


The Political Hebraism Project at Shalem seeks to recover the political thought of the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, and later Jewish sources, and to trace the story of their reception in the history of Western political ideas. Since its launch in 2002, the project has supported original research, international conferences, and post-doctoral fellowships. In conjunction with Shalem Press, the Political Hebraism project also publishes a quarterly journal, Hebraic Political Studies, and a series of translations into English of classic works of Hebraist political theory.

Hebraic Political Studies is an international, peer-reviewed journal that aims to evaluate the place of the Jewish textual tradition, alongside the traditions of Greece and Rome, in political theory and the history of political thought. Hebraic Political Studies publishes Articles that explore the political concepts of the Hebrew Bible and rabbinic literature, the significance of reflections on Judaic sources in the history of ideas, and the role of these sources in the history of the West.
