Reader's Guide to Judaism
Author: Michael Terry
The aim of the Fitzroy Dearborn Reader's Guides is to provide guidance to the secondary material in specific intellectual disciplines by means of essays that analyze, interpret, and evaluate that material--providing the student, teacher, researcher, and librarian with informed recommendations for further reading. — The Reader's Guide to Judais...  more » is not, therefore, just another one-volume encyclopedia in the field. Rather, it is a survey of English-language translations of the most important primary texts in the Jewish tradition. The field is assessed in some 470 essays discussing individuals (Martin Buber, Gluckel of Hameln), literature (Genesis, Ladino Literature), thought and beliefs (Holiness, Bioethics), practice (Dietary Laws, Passover), history (Venice, Baghdadi Jews of India), and arts and material culture (Synagogue Architecture, Costume). The emphasis is on Judaism, rather than on Jewish studies more broadly.

An international team of 200 scholars from the United States, Europe, Israel, and Australia have come together to produce this much-needed guide.
