This book illustrates the range of theoretical and practical issues
involved in defining Judaism for the purposes of comparative and
historical studies. The editor holds that sound definitions of
religious traditions in general emerge from complex dialogues
between "insiders," who define themselves vis a vis "outsiders,"
and "outsiders," who theorize and generalize about the
self-definitions of "insiders." Accordingly, the texts anthologized
here include examples of Jewish voices articulating their own
"native" self-understanding as well as academic interpretive
discourses proposing to place these self-understandings within
historical, anthropogical, or phenomenological frameworks.
