Public resource. Has Judaism Updated the Word of God? Alex Samely explores the issue of how ancient religions transmit their content, practices, and ideas to a new generation on his Beyond Belief page. He discusses whether the commandments given in sacred scriptures are received as immutable and what effect such debates have on contemporary Jewish practices. This page, aimed at RS A-level students, is based on Alex’s research on the development of Jewish thought and is complementary to Radio 4’s Beyond Belief programme on ‘Why Religions Change’
