A Seal Upon the Heart

By Mary Helene Rosenbaum

How did Judaism become one of the world's great ethical and religious systems? What is behind the ancient enmity between Iraq/Iran and the rest of the Near East? How can love transcend the barriers of class and sex, and the tumult of history? READ This is the tale of the fall of the First Temple and the Babylonian Exile--and the beginning of Judaism as a modern religion. It's told by Aliyah, a slavewoman who knew kings, queens, and commoners, and whose life was intertwined with that of the greatest prophet of her time: Jeremiah. * Mary Rosenbaum writes with elegance and with verve. Her retelling of Jeremiah's dramatic story was as suspenseful as it was enlightening - it kept even a sinner like myself turning the pages. Dirk Wittenborn, Fierce People * A fascinating look at the influence of women in the shaping of the biblical world and its society and politics through one woman's story.
