Items related to Judaism: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions...
This Very Short Introduction discusses Judaism as a living religion in all its contemporary richness and variety. How has it changed since the days of the Bible, or even since the time of Jesus. What sects and divisions does it have, and how does it respond to the challenges of modernity? How does the secular state of Israel resolve the conflicts of Church and State?

Review:
Throughout Solomon's (Marcus Braybrooke, Church Times)
Just as its name implies, this series features concise works that aim to give a crisp insight into otherwise complicated topics ... complicated subjects are condensed and made simple, to whet the appetite or provide just enough material for those with a casual interest. (Bournemouth Evening Echo)
Norman Solomon has achieved the near impossible with his enlightened Very Short Introduction to Judaism. He manages to keep the reader engaged, never patronizes, assumes little knowledge but a keen mind, and takes us through Jewish life and history with such gusto that one feels enlived, rather than exhausted, at the end. (Rabbi Julia Neuberger)
A magnificent achievement. Dr Solomon's treatment, fresh, very readable, witty and stimulating, will delight everyone interested in religion in the modern world. (Louis Jacobs, University of Lancaster)
This book will serve a very useful purpose indeed. I'll use it myself to discuss, to teach, agree with, and disagree with, in the Jewish manner! (Rabbi Lionel Blue)
