Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring
How has Judaism changed since the days of the Bible? What sects and divisions does it have, and how does it respond to the challenges of modernity? How does the secular state of Israel resolve the conflicts of 'Church' and state?
In this Very Short Introduction , Norman Solomon explores Judaism as a religion and as a way of life, including its festivals, prayers, customs, and sects. Solomon considers how Judaism is perceived and understood in the 21st century, discusses how Judaism deals with issues such as feminism, gender, homosexuality, and gay marriage, and looks historically at the relationship between Judaism and the Muslim faith.
