Cover of Boyarin Daniel Boyarin: Judaism (ePUB)

Judaism makes the bold argument that the very concept of a religion of Judaism is an invention of the Christian church.

Boyarin argues that although the world treats the word Judaism as appropriate for naming an alleged religion of the Jews, it is in fact a Christian theological concept only adopted by Jews with the coming of modernity and the adoption of Christian languages.
