Inhaltsangabe

Commissioned to replace Isidore Epstein's JUDAISM: A HISTORICAL PRESENTATION (in print since 1959) this book is targeted at students and those with a general interested in Judaism. Neusner rejects the traditional 'Sinai to Golders Green' approach, and instead begins by showing how Judaism is seen today in the world around us. It is only later in the book that Neusner tackles the formative history of Judaism and we see how the contemporary religion has taken shape. Judaism emerges as full of diversity and vitality. The focus is on the religion as it forms the lives of real people.
