Judaism Summary

Judaism by Brian E. Close

Aims to bridge the gap between general introductions to world religions at GCSE level, and the more specialist books required by university courses. Designed primarily for those preparing for A-level examinations, this series of books should appeal to undergraduate students and to the general reader, as well as providing a basis for more advanced study. This book covers four main areas in the study of Judaism, the development of the major source books, including the Code of Jewish Law, landmarks in the history of Judaism, a study of anti-semitism, including a consideration of Judaism after Auschwitz, and finally a survey of Jewish-Christian relations from 1942 to 1968.

Table of Contents

Tanak - Torah, Prophets and writings; the structure and growth of the Mishnah; the making of the Talmuds (3-6th centuries); the Code of Jewish Law; the origins of the Maccbean revolt; Hasidic Jews; the Enlightenment; anti-semitism and the holocaust; beginnings of redemption - the Christian-Jewish encounter, 1942-1968; Judaism after Auschwitz; Hebrew word list.
