Extract

The study of art in Judaism now takes center stage, as works of considerable intellectual ambition appear from year to year. The ones before us, a topical anthology and a coherent collection of essays, some of them groundbreaking, and all of them remarkably fresh and interesting, signal the advent of a new field within Jewish studies. The books complement one another, the one illuminating, the other argumentative, and both of them exceedingly interesting.
