A chapter authored by Geoffrey Claussen, professor of religious studies, Lori and Eric Sklut Professor in Jewish Studies, and chair of the Department of Religious Studies, was published in the volume “Judaism in 5 Minutes,” edited by Sarah Imhoff.
Judaism in Five Minutes provides an accessible and lively introduction to common questions about Jews and Judaism. Claussen’s chapter, titled “What Does Jewish Tradition Say About War?” explains how “Jews in diverse historical contexts have constructed a wide range of Jewish traditions about war, framing their ideas with reference to Jewish identities, histories, and texts.”
