This chapter describes Stephen Sharot’s work, Comparative Perspectives on Judaism and Jewish Identities, a compilation of essays that discusses religious issues and identities in diverse Jewish communities ranging from Kaifeng in Imperial China to Renaissance Italy, up to contemporary Israel and the United States. The book shows how the social structures of various societies, and the position of Jews within them, influenced interactions between Jews and non-Jews. Also, Sharot analysed the expressions of popular religion, focusing especially on the phenomenon of saints who fulfil the role of self-appointed intercessors between the people and the divinity. The chapter concludes that the research contains numerous insights and contributions to scholarly knowledge, and it should be regarded as a very useful compendium of diverse and interesting topics and data.Less
