Publisher's Synopsis
This second edition updates and revises one of The Complete Idiot's Guides® most popular religion titles. Among the topics included are features on the new concerns facing Judaism - the role of women within the religion, gay rabbis, interfaith marriages, genetic engineering etc. Gazing into a crystal ball, the book asks whether the present followers of Judaism can preserve the religion. Other chapters ask whether Israel makes it harder or easier for Judaism to survive while other debates center around the differences between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.
