This book explores past expressions of the Jewish interest in
Hinduism in order to learn what Hinduism has meant to Jews living
mainly in the 12th through the 19th centuries. India and Hinduism,
though never at the center of Jewish thought, claim a place in its
history, in the picture Jews held of the wider world, of other
religions and other human beings. Each chapter focuses on a
specific author or text and examines the literary context as well
as the cultural context, within and outside Jewish society, that
provided images and ideas about India and its religions. Overall
the volume constructs a history of ideas that changed over time
with different writers in different settings. It will be especially
relevant to scholars interested in Jewish thought, comparative
religion, interreligious dialogue, and intellectual history.
