内容説明
Whom do Jews consider to be Jewish? Is one born a Jew? Does one have a choice? Marriage, religious conviction, feelings of guilt in the face of history have all been reasons for seeking membership of the Jewish community. What are the practical issues for someone wishing to convert to Judaism? International contributors describe in this volume the manifold theological, legal, sociological, and psychological aspects to the phenomenon of the new children of Abraham, and people who have confronted this issue in their own lives tell their stories.
