The book "Who wrote the bible" is the most easiest and most detailed book to read on the subject of the Documentary Hypothesis. Even if you do not agree with this theory, Friedman makes many good points,... |

| 8. |  | The Gifts of the Jews : How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels from Simon & Schuster Audio Customer Review:  This book was written as a sensationalist bit of entertainment, not as a serious study of the Jewish legacy. It's a skillful work in that it will leave the uncritical reader believing they have just experienced something enlightening and mind expanding. And this is where the deception comes in. He... |

| 10. |  | The Sabbath from Farrar Straus Giroux Price: $9.60 Customer Review: A good book. Short and sweet, but you may have to read it twice if you want to get the deeper meaning. There's a lot to think about. |

| 11. |  | A History of the Jews from Harper Perennial Price: $13.11 Customer Review:  This is a scholarly book, and as such, heavy reading. This is not a book to read on the beach or on a plane. For readers really wishing to understand the Jews better, this is the book. The author traces the history of the Jews from the beginning of time. According to the author, the Jewish... |

| 13. |  | Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures--The New JPS Translation According to the Traditional Hebrew Text from Jewish Publication Society of America Price: $14.96 Customer Review: This is not a full sized book and it's made from that onion-skin type biblical paper...and the covers are VERY weak cardstock. The book bows when I pick it up. I'm very unhappy. Had I known this about this particular edition I'd have gotten the hardbound one. This book is a keeper, meant to be read... |

| 14. | [no image] | The Secret garden: An anthology in the Kabbalah (A Continuum book) from Seabury Press Customer Review: This book is enchanting. My daughter and I were in Awe as we read it. There is one particular part whent he children sing the doxology. The build up to this point made quite an impression on both of us. It is beautiful. Read it and weep (tears of joy)! |

| 15. |  | Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews: A History from Houghton Mifflin Customer Review: I think a point of interest is that Constantine was a Pagan his entire life and did not denounce Paganism until he was on his death bed. He mandated that Sunday be observed as The Sabbath (makes sense because it is a Pagan Sabbath, Sun Day reserved for worship of The Sun God) The Jews are the only... |

| 16. |  | Complete Dead Sea Scrolls from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: This book was recommended as the best book on the Dead Sea Scrolls by a Brigham Young University Professor, Stephen Ricks. Since I direct tours to Israel, I wanted to have a more in-depth understanding of the scrolls found at Qumran. The book has been most helpful, easy to read and understand, and... |

| 18. |  | A Reader's Hebrew Bible from Zondervan Price: $31.49 Customer Review: This is the BHS Text without the Textual Apparatus or Masora Magna/Parva. It has all verbs occuring less than 50x defined (great if your Hebrew isn't fluent) and makes reading much easier! Don't trust all the definitions (they're not flawless), but it's a beautiful Hebrew Bible that makes reading... |

| 19. |  | The Battle for God from Knopf Price: $26.60 Customer Review: Fundamentaly flawed. Armstrong makes demonstrably false claims such as "Paul never claimed Christ was God" or "Christ never said he was God". She never deals with the fact the Christ claimed--humbly--to both "Son of God" AND "Son of Man" (Daniel),the Messiah. If you read this book, read also the... |

Gail points out that, as a Jewish woman, this book touched her -- but I can also recommend this to a broader audience, as well. The entire... |

| 21. |  | 10 Conversations You Need to Have with Your Children from William Morrow Price: $15.79 Customer Review: Although this book title suggests ten separate conversations, I am halfway through the book, and it seems as if it is just generally about using everyday opportunities to get your kids talking and thinking. Still, I find the book enjoyable. |

| 24. |  | Judaism for Dummies from For Dummies Price: $14.95 Customer Review: Before reading this book I had very little knowledge of Judaism. It taught me so many basic so incredibly quickly, and helped me identify those subjects I wished to research further. I particularly like the transliterations from Hebrew, which actually served as the starting point for being able... |

| 25. |  | Essential Judaism: A Complete Guide to Beliefs, Customs & Rituals from Atria Price: $14.60 Customer Review: I'm dating someone who is Jewish and bought this book to understand more about his faith. I found it very useful for understanding the holidays, basic beliefs, and traditions but become slightly confused when it was discussing some of the religious texts (besides the Torah). Overall I would highly... |

| 26. |  | My Jesus Year: A Rabbi's Son Wanders the Bible Belt in Search of His Own Faith from HarperOne Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Cohen's book is a very quick read, and can keep someone with an open mind enthralled for it's full breadth. Each chapter is more like a diary entry, making it feel very "in the moment." As a "semi-practicing" person myself, Cohen's work helped me to appreciate (my) Judaism and (others') Christianity... |

| 28. |  | The Jewish Book of Why from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I returned this item. I was looking for something that had a little humor and was 'light' reading - eventhough it would have alot of information. This book was like a technical and complex college textbook... not at all what I had hoped. |

| 29. |  | Hebrew-English Tanakh Student Edition from Jewish Publication Society of America Price: $35.28 Customer Review: This is very handy for travel, but for study the type is a little small, although the Hebrew script clear for its size. In comparison to the Artsroll: Artscroll is a more accurate translation and is better for the English/Hebrew corresponding line-for-line. I would like to get the small Sephardic... |

| 30. |  | The SCIENCE OF GOD from Free Press Customer Review: I read this book years ago, but I still think it is the best book I've ever read. This book is very interesting. I'm not sure that I agree with everything in it, but the point seems to be to get you thinking outside of our current time. This book is very much outside of the box and I loved it! I... |
