This engaging and informative book reveals unknown but true facts
about the prophetical books of the Bible. Rabbis have avoided many
questions raised by the seemingly improbable events in these
volumes. This book addresses these questions and takes an open and
rational look at the episodes. The book addresses provocative
questions such as: What is the proper way to interpret the Torah?
How does Maimonides understand the episodes of the Prophets? Did
miracles such as the splitting of the Red Sea, the falling of the
walls at Jericho, and the sun standing still for Joshua really
occur? What assumptions cause us to misunderstand the Bible? Is
there a biblical mandate prohibiting suicide? Does the Bible forbid
ceding parts of the land of Israel for peace? Can children be
punished for their parents misdeeds, and, if not, why does the
Torah say that they are punished? Why does Shabbat begin at
different times for men and women? Why did significant biblical
leaders violate rabbinical laws? What really caused the adding of a
day to holidays shortly after the time of Moses? Why does the Bible
not always mean what it appears to say? Is it true that Judaism
does not know what happens after death?
