The Jewish Political Tradition
GOV 1094

Course Information

Description

The Jews existed as a stateless people for nearly two thousand years. Yet, throughout this period, they continued to make rich contributions to the theory and practice of politics. This course will examine the history of Jewish political thought, beginning with the Hebrew Bible itself and concluding with the birth of Zionism. Special attention will be paid to the influence of Jewish political writing in Christian Europe and in the early American republic.
