A Rabbi Reads the Torah distils a lifetime of Bible study by a Jewish scholar devoted to popularising the study of the Hebrew Bible in its original language, helped by the wealth of centuries of Jewish interpretation and debate, as well as the best of modern literary approaches. The Jewish tradition of reading a section of the Torah, the Five Books of Moses, on a weekly basis during the course of single year, is a challenge to find something new each time in a familiar text. These short studies, based on a popular radio series, offer unexpected insights into the very different materials to be found in these Biblical books, as well as indicating their relevance to the realities of personal, social and political life today. Rabbi Magonet's personal engagement in interfaith dialogue opens the world of Jewish tradition to the widest audience of those within and beyond our different faith communities.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    Based around a series of radio talks given by Magonet, these short studies are an insightful and refreshing look at the first five books of the Bible - the books of Moses, the Torah. The presentation is down to earth, and at once uncovers the passages for their truths today and also opens up the Bible in a new way for many Christians by reflecting these passages back through the eyes of Jewish understanding, something we frequently manage to overlook with our theology. This makes for a wonderful book that is not only easy to read, but is also a delight to read. It is certainly a book, I think, anyone looking to do a study of the early part of the Bible would do well to read. It would also be an excellent daily studytime companion, as well as being a great tool for preachers looking for some new insights. I heartily recommend this book.
