The Jewish Political Tradition: MembershipMichael Walzer, Menachem Lorberbaum, Noam J. Zohar, Ari Ackerman Yale University Press, 2006 M05 15 - 622 pages "The series to which this book belongs is unprecedented. . . . Every one of the chapters enacts a debate that should have a living resonance, not just for Jews, although obviously for them, but for everyone with a historical sense and a political conscience."--Hilary Putnam, Boston Review "A vast and important resource which will be consulted for years to come by all interested in any aspect of Judaism and Jewish history."--Ira Robinson, Journal of Religion & Culture (praise for the series) |
