- Summary:
- Despite the focus on Judaism, believers of other religions will find relevant questions raised by Solomon (retired, Hebrew and Jewish studies, Oxford U.) on the recording, interpretation, acceptance, and ethics of received Scripture. Drawing on primary sources from a critical historical treatment suitable for both scholars and non- specialists but unlikely to please fundamentalists, the former UK rabbi discusses belief in the Torah; hermeneutics the rabbinic tradition used to reconcile apparent contradictions between the Bible, other sources, philosophical views of Truth, and science; and non-Orthodox interpreters.
