This newly revised all-encompassing textbook is a guide to the
history, beliefs and practice of Judaism. Beginning with the
ancient Near Eastern background, it covers early Israelite history,
the emergence of classical rabbinic literature and the rise of
medieval Judaism in Islamic and Christian lands. It also includes
the early modern period and the development of Jewry in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Extracts from primary sources
are used throughout to enliven the narrative and provide concrete
examples of the rich variety of Jewish civilization. Specially
designed to assist learning, Judaism: * Introduces texts and
commentaries, including the Hebrew Bible, rabbinic texts, mystical
literature, Jewish philosophy and Jewish theology * Provides the
skills necessary to understand these step-by-step with the help of
a companion website * Explains how to interpret the major events in
nearly four thousand years of Jewish history * Supports study with
discussion questions on the central historical and religious
issues, and includes key reading for each chapter, an extensive
glossary and index * Illustrates the development of Judaism, its
concepts, observances and culture, with maps, photos, paintings and
engravings * Links each chapter to a free companion website at
www.routledge.com/cw/cohnsherbok which provides things to think
about, things to do and tips for teachers as well as other online
resources
