Zusammenfassung:"David Aberbach's book explores major transformations in Jewish life and thought from the time the Bible was written to the present, and asks such fundamental questions as: how did ancient Israel evolve to exclusive monotheism? Which circumstances led to the transition among Jews in the Roman empire from being a militant, state-based people to being a pacifist, scripture-based people? Which social forces attracted the Jews under medieval Islamic rule to secular life and identity? How did emancipation after the American and French revolutions lead to the end of rabbinic dominance? How did nationalism and revived Hebrew language and literature transform modern Jewish life and culture?"--BOOK JACKET.
