Modern Judaism: An Oxford Guide

Modern Judaism: An Oxford Guide provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of contemporary Jewish life and thought, covering social, cultural, and historical aspects of Judaism alongside theological issues. The book as a whole is concerned broadly with the period since the end of the eighteenth century, but its main focus is on contemporary Judaism and emerging trends. The main subject is Judaism as a religion, but this is interpreted broadly, in line with Jewish self-perception and with the realities of the situation today, which encompass avowedly secular, atheist forms of Jewish identity.
