Summary
'The Invention of Jewish Theocracy' explains why the idea of halakhic state - a demand that Israel should be governed by the law of the Torah - emerged, what happened after it initially failed to take hold, and how it has regained popularity in recent decades, provoking a schism between secular politics and religious fundamentalism. This text engages with contemporary debates on global human rights, the role of religion in Middle East conflict, and the long-term consequences of European imperialism.
