Reviews for Beyond the Verse: Talmudic Readings and Lectures

'The essays in Beyond the Verse...are split into three sections: Talmudic Readings, Theologies and Zionisms. Carried across their diverse concerns is an essential insight into the nature of religious language.' Josh Cohen, Jewish Quarterly, July 2008.
