By Arnold, Abraham
Robert Davies Press, 1995, Paperback, ISBN: 1895854261, $16.99

In this book, the author explores the history and religion of the Jewish people from a secular, humanistic vantage point.

His thesis is that Judaism should be viewed as a civilization and not necessarily as a religion.

Arnold therefore devotes a significat amount of discussion to reconsidering the origins and meanings of religious ceremonies, holidays and customs, suggesting newfound significance from a humanistic-secular perspective.
