Este libro describe la influencia de Epicuro en el judaísmo. El judaísmo es la única cultura nacional que ha adoptado el nombre de este filósofo griego, usándola como un término que designa Judios que creen en la libertad de elegir su forma de vida, sin la obligación de obedecer a los preceptos religiosos. Hoy en día, la mayoría de Judios en vivo como "Apikorsim". La herejía implícita en la negación de la existencia de un Dios personal incluye una negación de la creencia en la vida después de la muerte.
