Prose: non-fiction, Judaism: life & practice
All that matters about Judaism. ALL THAT MATTERS is an exciting new series from Hodder, with authors that matter writing about subjects that matter.
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.
