The oldest of the monotheistic religions, Judaism has played a central role in shaping world culture. Its texts and traditions have inspired other world faiths, and its principles have had a profound influence on ethics and law all over the globe. With a history dating back over 3000 years, this ancient religion s customs have undergone many changes over the centuries, and today it is practiced and experienced in a wide variety of ways. Examining the faith as a religion, philosophy, and lifestyle, this authoritative introduction asks what it means to be Jewish today. From the nature of God to worship and everyday life, Dan and Lavinia Cohn-Sherbok address the topics essential to an informed understanding of the beliefs, values, and enduring traditions of this highly influential religion.
