In this open and insightful exploration of the Hebrew Bible in its most universal aspects, the author uncovers the basic messages and themes that are truly relevant to all of humanity.

Cultural Studies:
- The Naked Crowd: The Jewish Alternative to Cunning Humanity by José Faur Thousands of years ago, the Jewish nation became what Nobel laureate Elias Canetti called a "naked crowd"; a society built on transparency and inclusiveness, impervious to the attempts of would-be tyrants to control the "crowd" through mind-games, linguistic manipulation, and mass hysteria. While the Jewish people have, over the course of history, occasionally lost touch with this foundation of their society, they have never lost the dream of a truly free society for all. In this book, José Faur articulates the essence of the Jewish alternative to the cunning societies of world history.$14.95 (Paperback)
- The Igbos and Israel: The Israelites in West Africa by Remy Ilona
A groundbreaking, comprehensive study of the history and culture of the Igbo Jews of Nigeria, a remarkable Jewish community which has tirelessly kept the traditions and beliefs that were passed on to them by their ancestors - members of the "lost" tribes of Israel.
