Summary: Zornberg's exposition of Exodus illuminates and informs
Review: Ms Zornberg's unique method of teaching -- reflected in her writing -- reveals themes and grand tapestries in a majestic manner. Her strong background not only in Jewish textual material , but also in secular literature and the humanities provides a rich context for her insightful reflections. A classic to be savored by all those seriously interested in the Old Testament.

Summary: Aviva Zornberg is an International Treasure
Review: With her trademark mix of existential, literary and biblical knowledge, Aviva Zornberg is an educator of the first order. Even those who have trouble with Biblical tales--or especially those that do--will have so many allusions and educated metaphors to work with that any literate woman or man can't help but learn essential truths about life and history from this great teacher. As a writer, my only critique is that she tends to be too homogenous in her method, a very small critique in the grand scheme of things, which is always Zornberg's subject--the grand scheme of things. Highly recommended.
