The Nakedness of the Fathers: Biblical Visions and Revisions

Summary: A Groundbreaking New Reading of Torah
Review: Ostriker brings all the passion and clarity of her poet's vision to a remarkably informed reading of the major stories of Torah (the Jewish Bible). Never narrow or parochial, she cracks open the texts and lets the images beneath the frozen layers of conventional interpretation flow wildly and beautifully. She speaks hard truths in a spirit of compassion and love. If you have any interest in what keeps Judaism alive, read this book!
