Introduction / by Jacob Neusner -- Judaism in New Testament times / by Richard Bavier -- Rabbinic sources / by John T. Townsend -- Judaism on Christianity : Christianity on Judaism / by Frank Talmage -- Modern Jewish thought / by Fritz Rothschild and Seymour Siegel -- The contemporary Jewish community / by Lloyd Gartner -- The Holocaust : anti-Semitism and the Jewish catastrophe / by Henry Friedlander.
Judaism is among the least known of the religious traditions of the West, and is also among the most difficult to seek out and study. The bibliographical essays before us do much to improve matters. They are not simply lists of books, but thoughtful essays on important problems in the study of Judaism. They address serious students in the field of religion who are not experts in the study of Judaism. They recount what comes first and what comes afterward, what may be important in one way, what in another. Their collective testimony is not that the study of Judaism is too complex for the nonspecialist, but that it is a very serious and engaging undertaking.
