Hebraic Political Studies

Hebraic Political Studies is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Shalem Press and devoted to recovering the Hebraic political tradition and evaluating its place in the history of political thought.

History

The journal was established in 2005 under the co-editorship Gordon Schochet, now Emeritus then Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, and Arthur Eyffinger, then of the Huygens Institute in the Netherlands. Its first issue appeared in the fall of that year. The journal is devoted to the recovery and exploration of the Hebraic political tradition, that is, the uses of biblical, Talmudic, rabbinic, and other Jewish and Judaic sources by Christian and Muslim as well as Jewish authors in the history of political thought. Its aim is to set this relatively unknown Hebraic political tradition along side the larger and well-established Greek, Roman, and Christian traditions.
