Abstract:
Bringing together contributions from established scholars as well as promising younger academics, this volume offers a broad-ranging view of why Judaism has garnered attention, authority and controversy in the late-20th-century. The volume considers the ways in which theological writings, sweeping social changes, individual or small-group needs, and intra-communal diversity have re-energized Judaism even amidst secular trends in America and Israel.
