| Abstract | This article's main purpose is to verify if, and to what extent, an attitude of religious tolerance stems from the essential pivots of Biblical and Rabbinic theology. After a careful perusal of the sources, Neusner comes to a negative conclusion: while classical Judaism provides open eschatological views, embracing all humanity in the acknowledgement of the One God at the end of days, it does not contain theological foundations for tolerating other religions in the here and now. It is therefore evident that, in later epochs, Christianity and Islam represented a challenge to Jewish traditional patterns of thought. |
