This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Judaism covers the
history of the Jewish religion, ranging from its biblical roots,
through its formulation in the era of the Talmud, to the present
day. This collection covers the development of Judaism in the
medieval Christian and Islamic worlds, its varied responses to
Enlightenment and modernity, the creation of new philosophies of
Judaism in the wake of the Holocaust, and the establishment of the
State of Israel, and contemporary issues such as feminism,
secularism, and the ethics of war and medicine. This is done
through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an
extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 800
cross-referenced entries on important personalities in Jewish
religious history, including biblical personalities with an
emphasis on how they are understood in Jewish, Christian, and
Islamic tradition. This book is an excellent access point for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
Judaism.
