Great Book Club Selection

Greeley and Neusner lead the reader across Biblical terrain which most readers will think that they already know. Yet, each leader offers profound observations that will surprise (if not surprise and delight) the reader. Greeley and Neusner may not "bring Christians and Jews together," but an honest reading may improve one's understanding and increase one's respect for "the other." Reading this volume with a group including a knowledgable Muslim may offer the richest possible view over the texts at the core of three great religions.
