This is a concise study guide for the fledgling student of Judaism,
covering critical issues and methodology. This volume in the
"Studying World Religions" series is an essential guide to the
study of Jewish faith. Clearly structured to cover all the major
areas of study, including historical foundations, scripture,
worship, society, thought and ethics, this is the ideal study aid
for those approaching Judaism for the first time. "Studying
Judaism" offers readers the chance to engage with a religious
tradition as a diverse, living phenomenon. Its approach is
'critical' in two major respects: its use of the dimensional
approach to the study of religions as an interpretive framework,
and its focus on matters perceived as problematic by insider and/or
outsider commentators, such as gender, demography, geo-politics,
the 'museumisation' of Jewish cultures and its impact on religion
and identity. A series of introductory guides, books in the
"Studying World Religions" series are designed as study aids for
those approaching the world's religions for the first time. Rather
than attempting to cover all the material, the critical and
methodological issues that students need to grasp in the study of
each religious tradition - and religion in general - are drawn out,
and the major contemporary debates explored. Readers are offered
the chance to engage with religious traditions as diverse, living
phenomena. With helpful suggestions for further study, pointing
students towards material such as primary sources (scriptures),
films and novels, and including ideas for teaching, discussion
topics and exercises, these guides are the perfect companions for
the fledgling student of religion.
