Conference

Norbert Samuelson Named to the Religion And Spirituality Advisory Board

The Religion and Spirituality in Society Knowledge Community names Norbert M. Samuelson to the International Advisory Board. Dr. Samuelson is the Grossman Chair of Jewish Studies at Arizona State University in the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies, and a Life Member of Clare Hall Cambridge University.  He is an internationally renowned scholar of Jewish philosophy, who is the author of twelve books and over 200 articles.  He is the founder and secretary of the Academy of Jewish Philosophy.

Prof. Samuelson's scholarship focuses on Jewish philosophy and theology.  In the early part of his career, he wrote primarily on medieval Jewish philosophy.  His pioneer work on a fourteenth century Jewish philosopher, Levi Ben Gershom (Gersonides) -- Gersonides on God's Knowledge (1977) -- propelled the hitherto little known thinker to the forefront of modern English language scholarship on medieval Jewish philosophy.

Publishing

Submit Your Book Proposal

Common Ground Publishing is setting new standards of rigorous academic knowledge creation and scholarly publication. Unlike other publishers, we’re not interested in the size of potential markets or competition from other books. We’re only interested in the intellectual quality of the work. If a book is a brilliant contribution to a specialist area of knowledge that only serves a small intellectual community, we still want to publish it. If it is expansive and has a broad appeal, we want to publish it too, but only if it is of the highest intellectual quality.

For more information on submitting a book proposal, please visit our website.
