Why and how did Jews, Christians, and Muslims missionize, and when and why did their efforts falter? How could the Jews persist so long as a minority faith, able to withstand intense pressures to convert? A sweeping social history of religion, One True God shows how the great monotheisms shaped the past and created the modern world.

"I recommend this book with uncommon enthusiasm. It will command great attention and will be debated for many years. More than that, it has the potential of laying new foundations for the whole study of religion. It will last." —Jeffrey Burton Russell, University of California, Santa Barbara Cloth $24.95 ISBN 0-691 -08923-X

Judaism in Practice From the Middle Ages through the Early Modern Period Edited by Lawrence Fine This collection of original materials provides a sweeping view of medieval and early modern Jewish ritual and religious practice. It testifies to the enormous variety of practices that character- ized Judaism in the twelve hundred years between 600 and 1800 C.E. Its focus on religious practice and experience—how Judaism was actually lived by people from day to day—makes this anthology unique among the few source- books available.

"This is a rich collection. There is no other volume like it. The book is well suited for an undergraduate readership in Jewish studies, and Fine's introduction is appropriate for readers encountering the study of Judaism for the first time." —Robert S.

Pamela Klassen introduces a surprisingly diverse group of women, in their own words, while also setting their birth stories within wider social, political, and economic contexts. In doing so, she emerges with a study that disrupts conventional views of both childbirth and religion by taking childbirth seriously as a religious act.

Imperialism and Jewish Society, 200 B.C.E. to 640 C.E. Seth Schwartz This provocative new history of Palestinian Jewish society in antiquity marks the first com- prehensive effort to gauge the effects of imperial domination on this people. Probing more than eight centuries of Persian, Greek, and Roman rule, Seth Schwartz reaches some startling con- clusions—foremost among them that the Christianization of the Roman Empire generated the most fundamental features of medieval and modern Jewish life. Through masterful scholarship set in rich detail, this book addresses the complex and varied consequences of imperialism on this vast period of Jewish history more ambitiously than ever before. tntroduong a new series: Jews.
