Judaism: The Genealogy of a Modern Notion (Key Words in Jewish Studies)

Judaism makes the bold argument that the very concept of a religion of â€˜Judaismâ€™ is an invention of the Christian church. The intellectual journey of world-renowned Talmud scholar Daniel Boyarin, this book will change the study of â€œJudaismâ€â€”an essential key word in Jewish Studiesâ€”as we understand it today. Boyarin argues that although the world treats the word â€œJudaismâ€ as appropriate for naming an alleged religion of the Jews, it is in fact a Christian theological concept only adopted by Jews with the coming of modernity and the adoption of Christian languages.
