“Lay readers already hooked on Jewish history will be endlessly
fascinated, and those seeking a solid state-of-the art introduction
to the field will find it here, with ample reference to other, more
specialized or canonical works. . . One of the most nourishing
Jewish books we've encountered in some time. . . . Wonderful.”
—The Jerusalem Report
“The writers revel in the new vistas opened by a cultural approach,
lavishly providing us, in generous detail, with descriptions of a
Jewish world more various than historians have allowed us to
glimpse.”
—Tikkun
“Biale has gathered a stellar international group of scholars
around the grand theme of Jewish cultural history. The tastes of
many different intellectual palates will find various satisfactions
here.”
—Jewish Quarterly Review
