Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-12 00:00:00 Vasileios Panagiotopoulos Very basic intro into Judaism, pluralistic but feels probably most at home for Reform/similarly oriented people. Used to be required reading in a class I took nearly at the beginning of my Judaism journey.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-11-21 00:00:00 Mark Doherty This is closer to 3.5 stars but I rounded it up. This book is a lot of information packed into one book! Unfortunately, few sources are provided for many of the historical claims in this book, making me feel the need to take what is said with a grain of salt. I don't agree with everything in this book, especially when it comes to politics and such, but it's a good introduction to many things. I just really wish it had more sources!! Also I read a 1989 edition, I hope there are newer editions that remove present-tense references to the USSR etc.
