Media Reviews

This volume, however, is superb...this volume is sufficiently thought-provoking to be on every Jewish studies student's table. Times Educational Supplement Neusner's new book is a pleasure to read. The reader can enjoy observing a penetrating analytical mind at work on the phenomena of modern judaism, developing a way of looking at its historical and social problems that will make sense to the beginning student, even if he or she is not Jewish, and still have validity for the seasoned historian of religion and culture. William Nichols, Judaism It is certainly an important book which should be debated and become required reading for students of contemporary Judaism. Graham Harvey, Reviews in Religion and Theology
