Kurzfassung:
Premodern Jewish culture was a comprehensive way of life, not a “religion” called “Judaism.” In this analysis, I endeavor to de-naturalize the idea of “Judaism” that has long been entrenched as a descriptor of Jews and of “crypto-Jewish” conversos. As I will explain, the concept of “Judaism” and all it conveyed are things that Iberian Jews adopted and their New Christian and New Jewish descendants internalized over centuries as Ibero-Christian culture encroached upon, and in the case of conversos, enveloped their lives.
