Rather than sweep these passages under the rug, Brill outlines strategies for Jews who want to remain true to traditional sources while interacting with the other 99.75% of the world. Brill recognizes the difficulties in many traditional sources (some of them extremely disturbing) that conflict with the ethics and reality of 21st century Judaism. While an important piece of scholarship, the book is not merely an academic exercise. 'An important book both in terms of scholarship and vision, Judaism and Other Religions surveys Judaism's wide-ranging attitude toward other faiths as well as non-Jews in general.

But he has also made clear some of the next steps that those sources make possible, or even demand.' - Paul Knitter, Paul Tillich Professor of Theology, World Religions and Culture, Union Theological Seminary, USA He has admirably carried out the formidable task he assigned himself to take the necessary first step of gathering the abundant sources for a Jewish theology of religions. 'Brill has done a notable, indeed a remarkable, service in this book, primarily for his fellow Jewish believers and theologians but also for Christians, Muslims, and others engaged in interreligious dialogue. It blends both traditional and modern thinking about interreligious dialogue, and it analyzes these materials convincingly.' - Nathan Katz, Professor of Religious Studies, Florida International University, USA Brill knows both the theoretical foundations for interreligious dialogue and rabbinic approaches to 'other religions.' It is a fine piece of scholarship, and it is also creative in bringing together three fields of discourse in a way they have not before been aligned. 'This is an excellent work: reflective, engaging, well-written, and perhaps most important - timely. David Rosen, International Director of Interreligious Affairs, AJC, USA Brill's book provides essential access to the classical sources within the Jewish tradition relevant to this encounter.' - Rabbi Dr.

'Serious Jewish engagement with other religions has substantially deepened and widened in recent years, both stimulating and responding to an increasing interest in Judaism from within the other world religions. Brill accompanies his lucid presentations of each approach with insightful critiques that will help guide their contemporary applications.' - Ruth Langer, Associate Professor of Jewish Studies, Theology Department Associate Director, Center for Christian-Jewish Learning, Boston College, USA 'This wide-ranging but carefully organized collection of Jewish thought about other religions constitutes an indispensible resource for Jews and non-Jews engaged in interreligious relations today and for Jews seeking to develop a text-based contemporary Jewish theology of religions for our global world.
