Book Reviews of How to Read the Bible: A Guide to Scripture, Then and Now
Book Review: A Catholic Priest View
Summary: 5 Stars
Though I have only read about a hundred and fifty pages, I have found Kugel's scholarship outstanding and his writing clear and easy. As a catholic priest it has been a wonderful exposure to good Jewish thought and scholarship. I have found the contrast between the ancient inperpreters and modern scholars extremely helpful. I would be more conversant with modern scholars and not so clear on the more traditional. It is a great help to interpret sections of the Hebrew Bible.
Rev. Joseph Madden
