"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) "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"
