The first edition of this book, published in 1961, was a classic overview of the Jewish religion. Arthur Hertzberg combined a superbly chosen anthology of the great writings of the Jewish tradition... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book includes a thematic selection of Jewish texts from all of the important sources of Tradition, the bible, the Talmud, and the more recent scholars works. Hertzel provides excellent if brief interpretation. My one gripe is that each selection is not necessarily introduced, but just flows with the book.
