In this anthology reprinting 15 of his articles written between 1966 and 2009, Berger (Jewish history, Yeshiva U.) provides insights into the intellectual debates among Jews and their conflicts and dialogues with the dominant culture, from medieval Europe and the Muslim Middle East to the contemporary U.S. and Israel. Issues discussed include the Maimonidean controversy over the permissibility of studying secular philosophy, the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment), and Jewish messianic beliefs. He also pays memorial homage to Hebrew University's Institute for Jewish Studies, and his father Isaiah Berger, the author of scholarly writings and owner of a bookstore devoted to Jewish themes.
