This is an excellent and concise introduction to Karaite Judaism. The price is reasonable enough in order to distribute this book to your family, rabbis, pastors and/or other interested individuals.

Finally, a clear, concise, and long overdue introduction to Karaism that caters for the layperson and the student.
The book provides a simple defintion of Karaism and deftly explains what sets the Torah-based, Karaite Jews apart from the current main-stream Rabbinic Jews.
The Karaites' perspective, albeit exteremly brief in this booklet, reveals the Karaite scholarly view and is well presented, logical and convincing.
The authors also provide contact details for those who would like to study futher.
A great introduction to a fascinating field of study and a relatively unknown, but still active form of ancient Judaism.

I was easily able to track my order. My package arrived 5 days early. The package included additional related reading materials, which I am currently reading and find equally as informational as the book that I myself ordered. I ordered this book to gain a better understanding of the Karaite beliefs and customs. Due to Karaism not being as popular as other branches/forms of Judaism and other religions, it has been somewhat complication and confusing to try and gain a true understanding of Karaism and what it is. This book has been more than informational. It provided me with the answers I needed, including explanations that break down the many reasons for the beliefs/opinions of the Karaites. It also provided me with verses and other ways to research Karaits beliefs and ways to compare and contrast Karaism with other forms of Judaism. This book truly is 'a Brief Case for Karaism.' It will give you the basic understanding of Karaism, along with the resources to look further into the Karaite beliefs and customs. I am truly blessed to have come across this book in my quest for further understanding of Judaism, and more specifically Karaism. I will definitely consider more purchases through amazon and the Nazarite Site. Thank you sincerely... Isis

I agree with the other reviewers that described this book as concise explanation of Karaite Judaism.
This booklet is brief and to-the-point.

The authors contrast the difference in beliefs between Karaite and Rabbinical Judaism.

The section on the calendar was clear and based on Scripture.
It covers the history of Aviv in dating the Passover festival; the sighting of the New Moon; and counting Shavuot.

Although I don't subscribe to all of the beliefs in Karaism,
Messianic believers would benefit from reading AS IT IS WRITTEN.
The book is especially helpful regarding the time to celebrate YaHuWaH's feasts.
