Description
Judaism: A Very Short Introduction by Norman Solomon provides a concise overview of this ancient and diverse faith. The book explores how Judaism has evolved over 2,000 years, from its origins in the Bible to its development in modern times. Solomon examines the practical aspects of Judaism, including festivals, prayers, customs, and different sects, as well as its responses to significant issues such as the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel. In this new edition, he considers contemporary topics, including the relationship between Judaism and Islam, the rise of mystical traditions like Zohar and Kabala, and how the faith addresses issues like same-sex relationships. This introduction is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which offers expert authors' insights into a wide range of subjects in an engaging and accessible way.
