Judaism: All That Matters - All That Matters (Paperback)
Keith Kahn-Harris (author)Published: 31/08/2012
For a group of people so limited in number, the Jewish community has had a huge impact on both global events and local politics. In this vibrant new look at Judaism, sociologist and cultural critic Keith Kahn-Harris provides a remarkably sharp insight into this history, and particularly the diverse Jewish communities (and diverse ideas of Jewishness) that exist today.

MEDIA REVIEWS
This book provides a most helpful compendium of basics about Judaism and Jewishness. * Times Higher Education *
Judaism:All that Matters really does cover everything. * TES *
Kahn-Harris has produced a stimulating read that covers the very breadth of Judaism, no mean feat in such a compact work; he shies away from nothing, controversies, divisions and conflicts.
There are so many introductions to Judaism, but for those who want an up-to-date, honest and informative volume then this is as good a place to start as anywhere.
His understanding of the contemporary Jewish work is often spot on, and he communicates this understanding in a clear and engaging way. * Jewish Quarterly *
