For nearly four millennia Judaism was essentially a unified
religious system based on shared traditions. Despite the emergence
of various sub-groups through the centuries such as the Sadducees,
Pharisees, Essenes, Karaites, Shabbateans and Hasadim, Jewry was
united in the belief in a providential God who had chosen the Jews
as his special people and given them a code of law. In the modern
period, however, the Jewish religion has fragmented into a series
of separate denominations with competing ideologies and theological
views. Despite the creation of the State of Israel, the Jewish
people are deeply divided concerning the most fundamental issues of
belief and practice. Judaism Today gives an account of the nature
of traditional Judaism, provides an introduction to the various
divisions that currently exist in the Jewish world and identifies
and discusses contemporary issues with which the Jewish faith
engages in the twenty-first century. This refreshing new approach
focuses on how Judaism is actually perceived and practised by Jews
themselves and the problems currently facing Jews worldwide.
