We treat the word Judaism as a given for describing the religion of Jews. But the
term is in some ways socially constructed, rather than inevitable. After all, exactly
what would constitute "authentic" Judaism? Some have argued that there are multiple
Judaisms, going in the direction of plurals that so many scholars find satisfying.
But Boyarin takes a different tack, proposing that before the modern era there should
be no "Judiasm" at all. For Boyarin, there was no sphere of life that can be called
Judaism that was separate from the political, artistic, and cultural elements of life.
Moreover, he argues that Judaism is a Christian coinage to serve Christian discursive
purposes by setting what we call Judaism in opposition to Christianity and that the
term has little utility for Jews. The various Jewish languages have no such concept
and no such term. He believes that categories drawn from outside the culture are anachronistic,
not informative. Boyarin will be making a case for substituting Jewry for Judaism.
Jewry is a concept that integrates many aspects of the lives of Jews, rather than
separating out religion from other aspects of life-- Provided by publisher.
