About the Author:
Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg was the author of a dozen books on the Jewish faith, including The French Enlightenment and the Jews, as well as a contributor to The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, and The New York Times Book Review. At the time of his death in 2006, he was professor emeritus at Dartmouth College and the Bronfman Professor of Humanities at New York University.
From Library Journal:
The first edition of this work ( LJ 1/1/62) appeared as part of a six-volume set of commentary and biblical text "explaining the spirit and values of the great religions of modern man." Now, 30 years later, using the same style and format, Hertzberg reexamines Judaism's moral and ethical values as they relate to today's major issues. Through a unique blend of ancient and modern scholarly commentaries, the role of Judaism is explored and interpreted in its relation to Jewish identity, equality of the sexes, rites of passage, the Holocaust, homosexuality, vegetarianism, medical procedures, politics, and more. Regardless of the era and world tensions, one theme from the original edition has prevailed--unity. Judaism, Hertzberg suggests, is best described as a confident religion whose disciples strive to return to traditional practices in a modern world. Interesting and thought provoking.
