Unusual Bible Interpretations by Israel Drazin

In this series, Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin, a Bible scholar and retired U.S. Army brigadier general, reads the Bible closely and asks what the text actually says. He brings ideas from traditional and modern scholars along with his own, and many readers find them surprising. The books are written for curious readers, not only specialists.

The series began with Five Books of Moses and continues with Joshua and Judges. Ruth, Esther and Judith includes the apocryphal book of Judith, and Jonah and Amos offers new translations with commentary. Hosea explores the prophet the Talmud credits with the idea of repentance.
