Reviews

"A remarkably comprehensive account, aimed at both the lay reader and the expert, of Judaism today. It covers religious, historical, and cultural trends and events with clarity. Some of Professor Cohn-Sherbok's views about the future of Judaism are sure to be controversial, but they are always based in remarkable learning." - Professor William D. Rubinstein, University of Aberystwyth, UK
