Full text linkSamuel Levenson was a Worcester native who received his A.B. from Clark University in 1930 and his A.M. in 1936. He was a journalist and both he and his wife, Leah, were authors of biographies. Samuel died in 1977 and Leah in 2000 and Leah left their papers and library without restriction to Clark University in her will. Appropriate books were incorporated into the Goddard Library circulating collection. The books written by the Levensons were primarily biographies of Irish men and women. The papers include transcriptions and tapes of interviews made in the course of the Levensons’ researches, photographs of the biographees, authorizations and permissions forms, contracts, and journals written by Granville Hicks. Leah was working on a biography of Abbie Hoffman at the time of her death and the papers include notes, tapes and a rough draft. There are also many letters written by Samuel to Leah while he was in the army during World War II, some of which are transcribed

Jon Levenson, The Binding of Isaac (2015)
No full textThe title of this video is “Questioning Abraham: the Jewish-Christian-Muslim Debate about Being ‘Abrahamic’ Traditions” by Jon D. Levenson in the LaRose Digital Theater, Koury Business Center on March 17, 2015. Levenson discusses how conventional ideas of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as three equally “Abrahamic” religions derive from a dangerous misunderstanding of key biblical and Hebrew texts, fail to do justice to any of the religious traditions, and is often biased against Judaism in subtle and pernicious ways. Levenson is a professor at Harvard University and an author of several books (Resurrection and the Restoration of Israel: The Ultimate Victory of the God of Life; Relating to the Hebrew Bible; Inheriting Abraham: The Legacy of the Patriarch in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; and The Love of God: Divine Gift, Human Gratitude, and Mutual Faithfulness in Judaism). This lecture was sponsored by The Fund for Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, the Center for the Study of Religion, Culture and Society, the Religious Studies Department, and the Jewish Studies Program
