In this revised and fully
updated introduction to Jewish beliefs and practices, Alan Unterman
demonstrates that Judaism is a living religion which retains the
vitality apparent in the Biblical corpus, but which has gone on
to develop institutions, modes of behaviour and patterns of thought
which together constitute the singularity of Jewish expression.
… The study as a whole portrays a vivid insight into the great
legal, mystical, theological, ethical and ritual traditions which
have preserved the identity of the exiled and often outcast Jew,
and enabled him to carry the message of the Hebrew Bible into the
modern world.

From Reviews of the
First Edition:
“Alan Unterman offers a comprehensive survey of the
major ideas, customs and movements which have made Judaism
what it is. It is also an excellent book for the intelligent
reader whose knowledge of Judaism is deficient. The reader
who is well versed in Judaism will also find much that is
new and provocative.”
