Babylonia had Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Egypt had Horus and Isis. Greece had Odysseus and Achilles. Israel had its heroes too - - Moses David Esther and Samson. While Israel's heroes did not wear capes or spandex they did meet cultural needs. In times of crisis heroes emerge to model virtues that inspire a sense of commitment and worth.

Using modern American superheroes and their stories in a cross - cultural discussion this book presents the stories of Israelite characters as heroes filling a cultural need.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Superheroes And Their Ancient Jewish Parallels A Comparative Study\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Miles Johnny E.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Mcfarland \u0026amp; Co Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781476669984\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 225 Pages, 14 Photos, Notes, Bibliography, Index\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Jewish Studies","brand":"Miles Johnny E.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49617481597233,"sku":"IN-G-9781476669984","price":46.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781476669984.jpg?v=1724479401","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781476669984-superheroes-and-their-ancient-jewish-parallels-a-comparative-study","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
