Abstract:
is fresh and contemporary introduction to the Jewish faith, and its philosophies and worldviews describes the key debates that have preoccupied Jewish thinkers over the centuries and examines their continuing influence in contemporary Judaism. Topics explored include the issue of authority and obedience, the relations between Jewish and Greek Thought, relations with islam and Christianity, Zionism, feminism, and many more. Oliver Leaman, a leading figure in the field, explores Judaism past and present with clarity and ease, making "Jewish Thought" ideal reading for anyone who wants to understand more about the Jewish faith and its outlook.
