Congregation: Contemporary Writers Read the Jewish Bible

An astonishing collection of personal essays by leading novelists, poets and literary critics.

Here, 37 modern Jewish poets, novelists and critics add their biblical interpretations to countless precedents in an uneven omnibus. "At its most personal and contemporaneous, the collection soars," noted PW , singling out pieces by Max Apple, Anne Roiphe, Jay Neugeboren and Francine Prose.
