Judaism and its Social Metaphors - Israel in the History of Jewish Thought - Jacob Neusner - Hardback Bog - Cambridge University Press - 1989 -
Brand: Cambridge University Press
Description
Jacob Neusner examines the crucial role of the definition of Israel in the history of Judaic thought. The history of the definition of Israel is revealed as the reflection of the history of Judaism itself. This is a bold and original interpretation of the way in which Jews, as well as other peoples, define themselves.
