Richard Friedman
In The Bible Now (Oxford University Press, $27.95), two respected biblical scholars, Richard Elliott Friedman and Shawna Dolansky, tell us what the Hebrew Bible says, or does not say, about a wide range of issues--including homosexuality, abortion, women's status, capital punishment and the environment. "A lucid discussion, informed by strong scholarship," says Publishers Weekly. Friedman is the author of the bestselling Who Wrote the Bible? Dolansky is author of Now You See It, Now You Don't: Biblical Perspectives on the Relationship Between Religion and Magic.
