Hebrew literature
S.Y. Agnon.
While Hebrew literature is primarily associated with Jewish tradition, it is not synonymous with it. Some works in the Hebrew language have been produced by non-Jewish groups, including:
- Samaritans: This religious group has produced its own body of literature in Hebrew.1
- Protestant enthusiasts: In the 17th century, certain Protestant groups also produced writings in the Hebrew language.1
It is important to note that Hebrew literature is defined by the language in which it is written, rather than the religious or ethnic identity of the author.1
