Description
The Hebrew Bible is a source of strength and wisdom for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Its timeless and moving tales have long inspired the hearts and stirred the imaginations of believers and skeptics alike. Now, as Americans seek out sources of strength in troubled times, many return to the Bible for inspiration and comfort.
In Biblical Literacy, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin provides an accessible, comprehensive introduction to the stories and ideas contained in the Hebrew Bible. In short, engaging essays, Rabbi Telushkin illuminates the most important and well-known passages in each book. Biblical Literacy is an invaluable reference for anyone who wants to deepen her knowledge of the Hebrew Bible.
Rabbi Joseph Telushkin is the author of seven influential Jewish books, including The Nine Questions People Ask about Judaism (with Dennis Prager), Jewish Literacy, and Jewish Wisdom, as well as several novels. A frequent speaker on Jewish issues, Rabbi Telushkin was ordained at Yeshiva University and pursued graduate studies at Columbia University.
"[This book] is compulsively readable. Its scholarship is impeccable, yet it reads like a novel. This is a book for Jews, Christians, and skeptics alike, for anyone who wishes to understand the most influential book ever written." -Rabbi David Woznica, Director, Bronfman Center for Jewish Life, 92nd Street Y
