Judaism: A Very Short Introduction by Norman Solomon

4.0

Given that the Very Short Introductions are a bit of a hit or miss scenario, I quite liked this one. It's hard for me to say whether the book covered a good sample of Judaism because I'm not really familiar but it felt like it's doing a good job.

I especially enjoyed the last chapters where Solomon tried to explain how 'modern' issues and topics are treated and/or incorporated in various "sects" and groups and how Rabbis interpret based on interesting precedents.
