This volume offers an examination of varied forms of expressions of
heresy in Jewish history, thought and literature. Contributions
explore the formative role of the figure of the heretic and of
heretic thought in the development of the Jewish traditions from
antiquity to the 20th century. Chapters explore the role of heresy
in the Hellenic period and Rabbinic literature; the significance of
heresy to Kabbalah, and the critical and often formative importance
the challenge of heresy plays for modern thinkers such as Spinoza,
Freud, and Derrida, and literary figures such as Kafka,
Tchernikhovsky, and I.B. Singer. Examining heresy as a boundary
issue constitutive for the formation of Jewish tradition, this book
contributes to a better understanding of the significance of the
figure of the heretic for tradition more generally.
