DESCRIPTION

Synopsis from the back of the book:

You're no idiot of course. You know both Christianity and Islam stem from Judaism, the "mother religion". But you're not quite sure what they all have in common and how they differ. What makes Judaism unique? What do Jews find in their faith that gives them wisdom, comfort and spiritual contentment?

Making sense of Judaism really isn't that hard - especially if you have The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Judaism. In this updated and revised edition, you get:

• A Judaism 101 course in basic Jewish beliefs about God, the world and history
• An introduction to all the "bestsellers" of Judaism - from the Bible to the mystical teachings of the Kabbalah.
• Enlightening insights into how Jews deal with sex, love, marriage, raising children, mourning and more.
• A look at contemporary Jewish life - the different movements, modern-day problems and a prognosis for what lies ahead.
