A Rabbi Reads the Bible

Since its first appearance in 1971, Jonathan Magonet's introduction to the Jewish reading of Scripture has proved immensely popular. The informal style and wit open a wide range of scholarly issues to the general and specialist reader and encourage a journey of discovery into unfamiliar, traditional and modern Jewish approaches to the text of the Bible. Includes new chapters on the Biblical content of `You shall love your neighbour as yourself' and the inner logic of the Ten Commandments.
