The Encyclopaedia of Judaism, 2nd Edition (4 Volume Set)

Description

From Library Journal
For this three-volume encyclopedia, an international set of noted religious studies scholars has produced 115 essays and articles on Judaism. Although the work is aimed at an academic audience and the double-columned layout may appear intimidating to the casual browser, lay readers (whether Jewish or not) will appreciate the depth of thought and research here. The articles, which run from a few pages to 15 pages, touch on many contemporary issues, e.g., the article on medical ethics discusses the controversy surrounding "test tube" babies. There is also in-depth discussion of concepts such as monotheism or creeds and modern Jewish movements such as Reform Judaism. Each article is signed and presents notes for further reading and research. Academic libraries and large public libraries serving a Jewish clientele should certainly consider this set, although they are not a substitute for the 16-volume Encyclopaedia Judaica (LJ 8/72; just released on CD-ROM). Most public libraries would do just as well with The Oxford Dictionary of the Jewish Religion (LJ 4/15/97) or The Jewish Religion: A Companion (Oxford Univ., 1995), both concise and insightful single-volume texts.APaul M.
