"The Kuzari "is one of the basic books of Jewish literature, a
required text in the library of every educated Jew--and of every
educated Christian who would understand the religion of Israel. The
author, foremost poet and thinker of the Jewish Middle Ages, offers
clear and usable delineations of the religion of Israel. In the
easy style of a Platonic dialogue, he presents first a critique of
Christianity and Islam, and then explores the nature of Israel's
first religious faculty, the question of the "chosen" people, the
implications of a "minority religion." Against those who
accommodate to prevailing philosophical trends, Judah Halevi is
blunt, frank and uncompromising in his discourse on the central
teachings of Judaism: revelation, prophecy, the laws, the Holy
Land, and the role of the Jewish people as spokesman for religious
faith.
