"I'm currently reading this as a companion to the weekly Torah portion, and I'm loving it. Addresses some of the problems and confusion I've had with certain portions (like why did Noah get so very angry with Ham and consequently with Canaan?). Excellent guide to the Hebrew bible. It even includes a list of the 613 mitzvot with citations at the end. Indispensbable reference book."
"Like his other books (Jewish Literacy and Jewish Wisdom), this is another survey book that will give you the Jewish perspective on the Hebrew Bible. A good read for beginners like me.
"I have a simmering disdain for organized religion. That said this book is amazingly good, it covers the old testament and nicely summarizes the chapters while taking out the tedious who begat whom parts and ends each chapter with a section detailing issues of debate in the religious community and the consensus on these by religious scholars. This book will increase your understanding of the tenets of the Judeo-Christian faith. I would highly recommend it to believers and nonbelievers alike since it will help you understand what the Bible really says and is delivered in a wonderfully unbiased style. It will also help your knowledge of biblical trivia so you can impress your friends while watching Jeopardy."
"So, I read this as a companion piece side by side with my most recent venture into the old testament from my St. Joseph edition Catholic Bible. My Bible has a lot of footnootes which were useful and helpful, but not nearly as much as this Book was. I enjoyed having a Jewish perspective on Hebrew literature, and would recommend this to anyone who wants to read and study the Hebrew Bible. Wonderful insight on beautiful traditions and philosophical understanding of a people who believe themselves to be deeply in touch with a Divine Revelator. Good reference book. If you aren't open to a Jewish perspective on Judaic history, then this is clearly not for you. It may be used as a "Cliff's Notes" of the Hebrew Bible, but, like most Cliff's Notes, you'd really be missing out."
