Exploring the complexities of religious categorization, this book challenges the Jewish perception of Hinduism as Avoda Zara, or idolatry. Through a historical lens, it redefines Avoda Zara and examines how different religions can reflect the same divine essence. Author Alon Goshen-Gottstein argues for a nuanced understanding of idolatry, suggesting that all faiths contain both idolatrous and non-idolatrous elements. By posing critical questions, he encourages readers to move beyond simplistic labels and appreciate the multifaceted nature of religious traditions.
