The Seventy Faces of Torah: The Jewish Way of Reading the Sacred Scriptures

Although Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all acknowledge the Hebrew Bible as sacred, each religion has its own way of relating to the Scriptures. Rabbi Wylen explains the Jewish art of reading and interpreting the Bible and provides an introduction to the history, major texts—including Torah, midrash, Talmud, and commentary—and genres of rabbinic literature. 238 pages, softcover from Paulist.
