The Jewish Social Contract: An Essay in Political Theology - New Forum Books
David Novak
Begins by asking how a traditional Jew can participate politically and socially and in good faith in a modern democratic society, and ends by proposing a broad, inclusive notion of secularity. It shows how social contracts emerged, rooted in biblical notions of covenant, and how they developed in the rabbinic, medieval, and modern periods.
