Preview The Seductiveness of Jewish Myth: Challenge or Response?

Description:
The Seductiveness of Jewish Myth offers a panorama of diverse definitions of myth, understandings of Judaism, and competing evaluations of the "mythic" element in religion. The contributors focus on the problem of defining myth as a category in religious studies, examine modern religion and the role of myth in a "secularized" world, and look at specific cases of Jewish myth from biblical through modern times. Contributors to this volume include Michael Berkowitz, S. Daniel Breslauer, James R. Davila, Richard A. Freund, Joel Gereboff, David Halperin, Ron Hendel, Howard Schwartz, Deborah Sills, David Norman Smith, Steven M. Wasserstrom, and Elliot Wolfson.
