Recenzii

"This work is particularly significant because it is among the first to develop a dialogue between the classical interests of Jewish Studies - texts and history - and the stuff of cultural analysis - ritual, myth, and meaning." - Tikkun "I greatly enjoyed Beyond the Text. [Hoffman's] way of relating text to community is very skillfully done . . . a refreshingly new approach." - Mary Douglas
" . . . destined not only to contribute significantly to the sum of knowledge but also to alter the way the data are perceived and the arguments framed." - Worship
"This powerful and brilliant book revolutionizes the academic study of liturgy." - Religious Studies Review
" . . . one of the most thoughtful books on Jewish scholarship to appear . . . " - Heritage Southwest Jewish Press
" . . . a profoundly enlightening book . . . " - Theological Book Review

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book is about a household activity, if not a household word; an activity that engages us all with that very degree of regularity which breeds indifference: liturgy, or, to be more precise, worship, or, to be more precise still, the variety of rituals in which religious people, particularly, engage.
