There have been many histories of the Jewish people, but remarkably few attempts to relate the history and evolution of Judaism itself, how Judaism came to be and how it has developed from one period to another, as well as the ways in which its varieties have related to each other. From the religion's inception amidst polytheistic societies in the second and first millennia BCE, through the Temple cult at the time of Jesus and the rabbis, mystics and messiahs of medieval and early modern times, to the many denominations of the contemporary Jewish world. It is a truly global story, spanning the Middle East, Europe and North Africa, but also China, India and America.
