Synopsis

A sharp, readable critique of rabbinic tradition and its claims, framed as a return to Moses and the prophets.

This edition examines how the oral law and the Jewish prayer book shape practice and belief, contrasting them with the religion described in the Scriptures. It invites readers to consider what salvation means and who can truly know God through the Bible.

  • Learn how the book argues the oral law affects Jewish life and its claims to authority
  • See discussions about salvation, study, and who is included or excluded
  • Explore the historical view of rabbinic power, excommunication, and its perceived social impact
  • Understand how the author frames Judaism in relation to Moses, the prophets, and Christian critique
Ideal for readers interested in historical religious debates, scriptural analysis, and the tensions between Rabbinic tradition and biblical faith.
