Review Quotes: "Assiduously compiled, Historical Dictionary of Judaism is arranged to serve dedicated scholars and upper-level students of Judaic studies rather than undergraduate students of Judaism in religion-survey courses or general readers ... This reference source is a scholarly and intensely detailed treatment of historic Judaism and is well recommended for professional and graduate-level collections." --Booklist
