INTRODUCTION
This text is intended for readers with minimal or no background in Judaism. It introduces them to a mature study of different kinds of thought categories of the Jewish people from the time of their expulsion from Spain in 1492 C.E. (Common Era) up to the 1980's. The text consists of summaries followed by a selected bibliography of primary and secondary sources for the summaries.
In presenting a general summary of any period of thought, authors necessarily make several selections. First, they decide that certain conceptual topics and certain thinkers are more important than others. The general criteria for such selection are based on the inherent value, the originality, and the historical importance for the subsequent development of Jewish thought, as judged by these authors. While these judgements attempt to be objective, not all scholars would agree with any particular selection. Second, the authors decide that certain interpretations of the concepts chosen to be summarized are more correct than others. Again, not all scholars would agree with any particular set of interpretations.
