Book Description

April 22, 2002 053450826X 978-0534508265 1
Taking an unwavering historical approach to its subject, Breslauer's text was born out of a contention that student's best learn the fundamentals of Judaism through an engagement with the historical contexts that generated the variety of Jewish religious beliefs and practices. Encountering Jewish religious expressions both within particular historical periods and across chronological eras, readers of this text will discover Judaism as a dynamic tradition, not merely a set of static ideas and actions. Above all, they will come to recognize Judaism as a religion marked perennially by a notable and important diversity.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Understanding Judaism Through History (Paperback)
The writer was very thorough but I personally dislike the writing style. It is hard for me to pick out what parts are important and what parts are not.
