On the Bible and the Notions of Space and Time. An Essay about the Uses of Categories in Ashkenazi World, from the Middles Ages to the Modern Period. S. A. Goldberg.
The Long History of the Jews in the West shows that the social construction of temporality goes through an operating spatial appropriation. This phenomenon turns out when one confronts different kinds of historical material, Jewish and non-Jewish, religious with legal texts. This allows to bring together, within a same history, the admitted facts and their representations. To use the Bible as a source that informs and shapes attitudes in later Jewish societies became inscrutable for its sacred character and disciplinary conventions. This paper considers at first the interlacing of temporal and spatial order shaping the Jewish time in traditional communities; then it attempts to clear up some of the traps disseminated within theological perspectives in Biblical studies.
