Politics and the Limits of Law: Secularizing the Political in Medieval Jewish Thought - Contraversions: Jews and Other Differences
Menachem Lorberbaum
This book explores the emergence of the fundamental political concepts of medieval Jewish thought, arguing that alongside the well-known theocratic elements of the Bible there exists a vital tradition that conceives of politics as a necessary and legitimate domain of worldly activity that preceded religious law in the ordering of society.
