Reviews for The Five Books of Moses: The Schocken Bible, Volume 1

A binding religious text, a historical document of the first importance, and a work of great literary imagination. --Edward Hirsch, New York Times Book Review <br><br> Fox's translation has the rare virtue of making constantly visible in English the Hebraic quality of the original, challenging preconceptions of what the Bible is really like. A bracing protest against the bland modernity of all the recent English versions of the Bible. --Robert Alter, professor of comparative literature, University of California, Berkeley<br><br> No serious Bible reader--whether Jewish, Christian, or secular--can afford to ignore this volume. --Jon D. Levenson, Harvard Divinity School
