Reviews

[Samuel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was illuminating to a Christian like me who had only assumptions on what Judaism actually means. I can now see a similarity of all the monotheistic religions, this similarity is not in creed but with how each of them deal with sacred scriptures. The human aspect of dealing with revelation is somehow similar. Many questions I had before was answered and I actually want to know more.

Very erudite succinct, literate and modern. Very much worth a read. De Lange besides being a rabbi has also translated the works of Amos Oz.
