Jewish political theory
Definition
- The ways in which the Jewish people have thought and written about politics, divine authority and human power, and the dispensing of justice have been shaped by their unique historical experience. Over the course of two and a half thousand years, Jews have lived under a remarkable variety of political forms and practices, including loose tribal federation, monarchy and regional power, imperial client state, diasporic semiautonomous communities, voluntary religious associations, and modern democratic nation-states, and have struggled against as many.
