• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This innovative history demonstrates the remarkable diversity encompassed by the deceptively simple Jewish statement of faith, 'God is one'. Grossberg shows how this diversity is unified in a continuous striving for knowledge of God that has been at the heart of Judaism from its earliest beginnings.
