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
Dr. Israel Drazin served for thirty-one years in the US military and attained the rank of Brigadier General. He has a PhD in Judaic studies, a master s degree in psychology, a master s degree in Hebrew literature, and is an attorney and a rabbi. He developed the legal strategy that saved the military chaplaincy when its constitutionality was attacked in court, and received the Legion of Merit for his service. He was the scholar who recognized that Targum Onkelos incorporated hundreds of words from the Tannaitic Midrashim, edited around 400 CE, and therefore must have been composed after that date, a period much later than has been widely accepted. He is the author of twenty-five books, including a series of five volumes on the Aramaic translation of the Hebrew Bible, which he co-authored with Dr. Stanley M. Wagner, and a series of four books on the twelfth-century philosopher Moses Maimonides, the latest being Maimonides: Reason Above All, published by Gefen Publishing House.
