This scholarly yet engaging book presents a dynamic interpretation of Jewish history-from biblical to modern times-as a set of interconnected and evolving events and relationships that spring directly from Judaism's core beliefs.
Rivkin explores how monotheism has enabled Jews throughout history to adapt themselves, their communities, and their vision of the Covenant whenever they were confronted by new circumstances or historical forces. This flexibility and redefinition has time and again ensured Jewish survival and vitality, and placed Jews in the forefront of the modern trend of globalization.
The Unity Principle is newly revised and expanded based on Rivkin's classic work The Shaping of Jewish History.
- FROM THE FORWARD BY ROBERT M. SELTZER-Professor of Jewish History at Hunter College and author of Jewish People, Jewish Thought: The Jewish Experience in History.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Dr. Ellis Rivkin is Professor Emeritus of Jewish History at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. In addition to The Unity Principle, Rivkin's popular writings include What Crucified Jesus? and A Hidden Revolution: The Pharisees' Search for the Kingdom Within.

Unity Principle: The Shaping of Jewish History
This is a collection of Jewish oral traditions that is loaded with interesting tidbits like detailed descriptions of mannah and unbelievable (literally) stories about the creation of the world. A number of the traditions are essentially jokes that take Torah stories as jumping off points; some of my favorites are based on the wisdom of Solomon. It's not the kind of book I'd read cover to cover, but it'd be a great resource to keep a class on the Old Testament lively and interesting.
