Judaism When Christianity Began

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of Rabbinic Judaism's theology and practices, tracing its development alongside Christianity from antiquity to modern times. Jacob Neusner systematically examines core beliefs, mythic narratives, and ritual behaviors. Key topics include the nature of revelation and scripture, the concept of God, holiness, the tradition of the Torah, divine intervention, sacred spaces, atonement, and the afterlife, as well as the role of art and symbols in Jewish practice.
