About this title

Synopsis

This collection of 21 articles and a panel discussion reviews and analyses the history and implications of the dualistic paradigm that has characterised Judaism throughout the ages: pluralism and sectarianism, religiosity and secularity, universalism and separatism, reform and uniformity. Particular attention is paid to the history and effects of different religious groups, movements and political trends.
