The idea of the Chosen People is an ancient one and is deeply rooted in Judaism. Through a wide-ranging textual and phenomenological investigation, this book highlights the novel and systematic presentation of the Chosen People in the 'Kuzari' and shows how Judah Halevi draws, in a creative manner, on terms, concepts, and themes borrowed from the Shii doctrine of the Imam as presented in Shii literature.
