David Noel Freedman
"I strongly recommend this book to all those who remember the
biblical stories of their childhood and youth and are interested in
taking a fresh journey into humanity's past with an intrepid,
engrossing guide." Philip R. Davies
"Of the great biblical interpreters of our age, no one can emulate
Joseph Blenkinsopp's scholarship. He brings to the biblical text
not only a huge range of knowledge and interests but also sharp
perception and shrewd judgment. Above all, again and again he gets
to the heart of the issue -- a critical engagement with the text
and with its authors. These essays demonstrate the best of his
work, which is original, profound, and always fresh." John J.
Collins
"These erudite and urbane essays provide a sampler of judicious
exegesis by a seasoned interpreter of the Old Testament. They are
at once enjoyable and instructive." Association of Jewish Libraries
Newsletter
"This erudite, instructive, and engaging collection of essays
brings much fresh insight to the biblical text. . . . [It] offers
many rewarding and instructive insights."
