Item description from seller

Quarto. vi, 130pp. Original glossy boards with white an black lettering on cover, white on spine. "If Judaism were simply a religion, the title of this collection of essays would be an oxymoron. But, of course, as has been recognized as a commonplace for several centuries, Judaism is not easily characterized as simply a religion. The the religious dimension of Judaism is a central if not defining characteristic, Judaism is a culture and civilization which embraces the secular as well. Nor can the Jews be easily subsumed under any of the conventional categories of social groupings, nation, culture, religion or ethnicity. For precisely this reason Jews are most often referred to as a "people," a designation which is as much as anything a concession to the inadequacy of other categories to describe them. All this is to suggest the presence of secular dimensions alongside the religious in Jewish life." (Introduction).
