""This is the first of a projected series of three books, each dealing with one of the three great monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is without doubt one of the most serious and learned encounters with Judaism by a non-Jewish scholar and thinker in our time"." -- Shofar
Paperback edition of a massive investigation by a sympathetic Christian scholar of developments in Judaism over the past three thousand years. Kung argues that the Jews have experienced six major paradigm shifts since the formation of the Jewish tribal federation. Part of a trilogy on the world's three monotheistic religions, the book represents a serious attempt by a Christian scholar to grapple with the meaning of Judaism in relation to Christianity and Islam.
