There has been virtually little discussion about how Judaism, whether as a religious doctrine or cultural identity, has influenced the field of composition studies. This chasm in composition scholarship is surprising, given that composition studies has been a discipline that has vigorously claimed to embrace and advocate a policy of diversity. This book explores the myriad configurations of Judaic influences in composition studies that have yet to be articulated, but that are made manifest in the theory and pedagogy of radical/critical teaching, service-learning, and narratives of literacy, identity, and politics. Further, the text explores how Judaic rhetorical texts can be used to reconstruct traditional rhetoric through its use of language, style, and symbolism.
