- More about Reading Shakespeare in Jewish Theological Frameworks: Shylock Beyond the Holocaust
Reading Shakespeare in Jewish Theological Frameworks: Shylock Beyond the Holocaust offers a new perspective on a four-hundred-year-old play, The Merchant of Venice, by exploring Shakespearean themes of potentiality and human flourishing within the Jewish tradition. By drawing on the intellectual history and oppression of the Jewish people, the book encourages scholars, performers, and readers to see beyond the racism in Shakespeare's plays and to consider post-credal solutions and transformed societal paradigms of repair.

Reading Shakespeare in Jewish Theological Frameworks: Shylock Beyond the Holocaust is a groundbreaking exploration of a four-hundred-year-old play, The Merchant of Venice, through the lens of Jewish theology. While the focus of critical analysis has traditionally been on victimhood and antisemitism, Lion argues that scholars, performers, and readers should broaden their perspective by recognizing the potentiality and human flourishing inherent in Shakespeare's works, as they emerge within the Jewish tradition itself. By drawing on the intellectual history and oppression of the Jewish people, Lion incorporates insights from thinkers such as Franz Rosenzweig, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, and rabbis from the Talmud to contemporary times. This volume seamlessly weaves post-confessional, Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, and mystical ideas with Shakespeare's poetry, fostering conversations on prophecy, love, spirituality, care, and community. The book concludes with brief critical sketches of Antony and Cleopatra, Hamlet, and Macbeth to demonstrate that Shakespeare, when interpreted through Jewish theological frameworks, can offer post-credal solutions and transformative societal paradigms of repair that inspire action and the creation of a more harmonious world.
