In The Biblical Personality: A Rabbinic Analysis of Hebrew Scripture, Rabbi Richard Chapin examines the important men and women of the Bible through the use of traditional commentaries along with his own contemporary perspective. Vivid and accessible descriptions of Jewish thought may be found in the stories of the Bible and, specifically, in the personalities presented in these stories. These personalities not only come to life in the biblical narrative but remain alive for generations of readers.
