Overview
The first in a series to study religion by description, analysis and interpretation. This book uses Judaism as an example of the importance, for all learning, of the circumstances and context in which scholarship takes place. The author argues that we learn only after we have decided what we wish to know, based on our categories of inquiry. A set of comparative studies of ancient Judaism and Christianity illustrates this thesis. Co-published with Studies in Judaism.
