When God resolved upon the creation of the world- He took counsel with the Torah. Her advice was this: "O Lord- a king without an army and without courtiers and attendants hardly deserves the name of king- for none is nigh to express the homage due to him."' (Excerpt)
This collection, initially published between 1909 and 1938, here makes its paperback debut. Ginzberg offers new interpretations of traditional Bible stories as well as additional tales not commonly found in either Christian or Jewish teachings but involving many of the same characters. With scholarship of biblical proportion, this is essential for religion collections.
