Reviews

'Cohn-Sherbok has an easy prose style, and prsents an engaging study of Jewish history and the development of Jewish thought.' Rabbi Dr Middleburgh, Church Times, 22/09/2006--Sanford Lakoff "Church Times "

"While The Paradox of Anti-Semitism is clearly written and covers an immense range of Jewish history and erudition, it is not argumentative, and one has to look closely to find Cohn-Sherbok's opinion beyond the book's title. That antisemitism is somehow constitutive of Judaism is hardly a new idea, but Cohn-Sherbock makes no mention of others...In fact the book is scarcely argumentative at all, and the book's thesis becomes platitude." - William Nathan Alexander, Shofar, 2008--Sanford Lakoff
