Eros And The Jews: From Biblical Israel To Contemporary America - Softcover
Drawing on works ranging from the Book of Ruth to the novels of Isaac Bashevis Singer, from the films of Woody Allen to the teachings of Hasidism, this book shows that the contemporary dilemmas of Jewish desire have their analogues in the past. David Biale is the author of "Gershom Sholem" and "Power and Powerlessness in Jewish History", both National Jewish Book Award winners.

From the Inside Flap:
"This trailblazing book . . . exposes the evolving and often contradictory attitudes of Jews toward sexuality. One comes away with a fresh sense of the variegated nature of Jewish historical experience, and not only in regard to sexuality."—Robert Alter, author of The World of Biblical Literature
About the Author:
David Biale is Koret Professor of Jewish History and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
