The Story of Judaism

by Bernard Jacob Bamberger

Here, in this singularly lucid work, is a comprehensive history of the faith of Israel. Recognizing that the history of Judaism cannot be separated from the history of the Jewish people itself, Dr. Bamberger tells that story, too, but he focuses on the inner content of Jewish life the religious ideas, observances, and institutions. He makes vivid the ideas and practices of Judaism from its nomadic beginnings in Biblical times, through exile, to life in America and the new State of Israel. Additional material written for this edition brings the story of Judaism up to date through the Six-Day War to the present.
