Judaism, the religion of the Jewish people, is one of the first
recorded monotheistic religions, and as such is one of the oldest
religious traditions still practiced today. While its influences can
be seen in the religions of both Christianity and Islam, many of its
beliefs, traditions, and practices are unknown. The second edition of
The A to Z of Judaism doesn't just present 'religious' beliefs in a
traditional sense but investigates the complex intermingling of
religion, devotion, lifestyle, and culture as it is found in diverse
Jewish populations around the world and as it has evolved over the
course of recent human history. Judaism, like many other cultural
institutions, has rarely remained static_instead, continually
investigating and questioning itself, metamorphosing in relation to
the world. By means of a chronology, an introductory essay, a
bibliography, and numerous cross-referenced dictionary entries on
important persons, writings, institutions, concepts, Hebrew words,
philosophy, theology, and religious law, author Norman Solomon
provides an important reference source for the study of Judaism.
