Publisher Description: Jews often consider Hinduism to be Avoda Zara, idolatry, due to its worship of images and multiple gods. By appealing to the history of Judaism's view of Christianity, this book seeks to define what Avoda Zara is and how one might recognize the same God in different religions, despite legal definitions. |
