Reviews

Alan Unterman offers a comprehensive survey of the major ideas, customs and movements which have made Judaism what it is. It is also an excellent book for the intelligent reader whose knowledge of Judaism is deficient. The reader who is well versed in Judaism will also find much that is new and provocative.
