This concise but comprehensive introduction to the Jewish faith combines a schematic and developmental view of Jewish religious culture, along with a selection of representative texts that best illustrate the full range of Jewish religious self-expression. Enhanced by numerous pedagogical aids, its descriptive and historical narrative explores the diversity of beliefs and traditions which make up the fabric of Jewish religious experience throughout the centuries.
