One of the masterworks of twentieth century Jewish scholarship was
Louis Ginzberg's "Legends of the Jews", or, more accurately,
"Legends of the Bible"... For scholars, Ginzberg's book is a
monumental work of research. But for the general reader, it is a
gateway into a world, a world where the imagination roamed and the
spirit was free. You will discover that Adam had a previous wife,
before Eve, that Cain repented and was forgiven, that Abraham
missed Ishmael and went to see him several times after the
expulsion, and that Rebecca was a worthy successor to Sarah. If you
are not a scholar, put aside the two volumes of notes for a while
and enjoy the legends themselves. The Bible will never be the same
for you again, if you do.--Rabbi Jack Reimer "South Florida Jewish
Journal. "
