Reviews

[Robert Murphy · Rating 4 out of 5]

More like an encyclopedic compilation of articles, there is some repetition between chapters, making a reading straight through sometimes tedious. Also, the overview is historic, not existential. The attempt to represent the breadth and depth of Judaism is rather one-sided, revealing a post-Orthodox point of view. All that being said, this is a helpful book, the kind that should be in a library for ready reference.
