<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A major landmark of religious publishing and one to be widely welcomed."--William Dalrymple, <em>New York Times</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> <em>The Norton Anthology of World Religions</em> offers a beautifully designed library of more than 1,000 primary texts, accompanied by headnotes, annotations, glossaries, maps, illustrations, chronologies, and a dazzling general introduction by Pulitzer Prize winner Jack Miles. This collection "will unsettle some current certainties about the nature of faith and, in so doing, may help its readers arrive at a nuanced and accurate perception of our predicament in this dangerously polarized world" (Karen Armstrong, <em>New York Times</em>).<br /></p><p>Unprecedented in scope and approach, <em>The Norton Anthology of World Religions: Judaism</em> brings together over 300 texts from pre-Israelite Mesopotamia to post-Holocaust Israel and America. The volume features Jack Miles's illuminating General Introduction--"How the West Learned to Compare Religions"--as well as David Biale's "Israel among the Nations," a lively primer on Jewish history and the core teachings of Judaism.<br /></p>
