No other book in the history of civilization has gripped and shaped the world's collective imagination quite like the Bible. Its images, metaphors, and stories possess a unifying theme that speaks to the nature of the human condition in all of its guises. Unlike the other creatures of the earth that live by their primal instincts, humankind lives in a mythical universe. The Bible recognizes this truth; almost every narrative of the Bible, in one way or another, addresses the nature of our existential predicament. Certainly what is true of the Bible, in general, is especially true with respect to the book of Genesis--a book about our primal beginnings and longings. Merely reading the familiar stories of old without thoughtful or dialogical discourse misses the point of why they were originally told. If the Torah is, as its name suggests, "instruction" or "teaching," then it behooves us to think about the existential depth of this sacred text, which continues to consciously and unconsciously shape the world we live in. As a compendium of sacred wisdom, Genesis addresses nearly every human concern we have experienced since the beginning of recorded history. How we understand our sacred texts matters. Genesis teaches us that our lives are part of a story that began long ago when human beings first wondered about their place. What is the purpose of human existence? How did the world come to be? How do all things interrelate? How should we interact? Genesis presents a symbolic story that addresses these primal questions--one that continues to guide and inspire. Genesis not only describes how all races of people relate to the Divine Presence that fills the universe, but also provides valuable insight as to how each of us are spiritually interconnected. Birth and Rebirth through Genesis: A Timeless Theological Conversation is a compelling Jungian and exegetical exposition of Genesis 1-3.

"Philo is one of the great thinkers of the ancient world, yet he no longer remains enigmatic to biblical interpreters. I enthusiastically recommend Rediscovering Philo of Alexandria." Dr. Marvin Wilson, Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies Gordon College, Wenham, MA "Philo proves to be a staunch supporter of the classical approach to biblical characters, immediately and unequivocally defending them and dispelling any possible negative interpretation of their behavior. In situations where such 'mainstream' commentaries as Nachmanides or Rabbi S.R. Hirsch find fault in the behavior of the matriarchs or patriarchs, Philo is quick to defend; in fact, there are many instances in which he inserts a virtuous spin on seemingly neutral situations...Rabbi Leo Samuel has done an outstanding service, both to Philo and to modern readers. In Rediscovering Philo of Alexandria, Philo’s ancient Torah commentary becomes readable and meaningful, exciting and contemporary. I look forward to future volumes..." Rabbi Ari D. Kahn, Echoes of Eden on the Pentateuch The intellectual fecundity of Philo's era was remarkable. He lived at one of the most creative periods of Western Civilization, as two of the greatest traditions--Semitic and Greek--were continuing to winnow the useful insights of their counterpart's teachings, while they refined their own modes of thoughts and religious expression. Philo became Hellenistic Judaism's greatest philosopher and was the first ancient Judaic thinker to compose a commentary on the Torah. His style of interpretation included the exegetical, legal, linguistic, proto-midrashic, and theological strands of 1st century Jewish thought. Reading Rediscovering Philo of Alexandria offers the reader a glimpse into the unknown world of 1st Hellenistic Judaism, which in many ways resembled the Western world we now inhabit. Michael Leo Samuel has meticulously culled from all of Philo’s exegetical remarks, arranging them according to the biblical verses. He provides extensive parallels from the corpus of rabbinical literature, Greek philosophy, and Christian theology in presenting how Philo impacted the great minds of Late Antiquity and beyond.

Many times the first three chapters of Genesis become lost in translation. How could somethingcreationcome from nothing? How long is a day, and did it really only take seven days for God to create the universe? Are we really created in Gods image and likeness? These questions and more are often difficult to answer. In Simply Genesis, author T. L. Farrell introduces an uncommon and off-the-wall interpretation and commentary on the first three chapters of Genesis. While this new understanding stands in sharp contrast to most common teachings, it can provide believers with a deeper understanding of the truthand some answers to common questions about our origins and purpose. Because most readings of Genesis pin God down to the level of human thinking, much of its true meaning can be overlooked. But by following the biblical guidance that God makes known the end from the beginning, looking at Genesis in this way can unlock further truths about not just creation but Gods ultimate purpose for us. God has revealed the glory of His finished work in the first three chapters of Genesis. Therefore, we trust in God, who had it all planned from the beginning. Gods perfect plan is to create a family of believers in His image and likeness, full of Gods Spirit and love through the independence of their free willthat when God sees us, He sees Himself, and when we see God, we see ourselves.

The epitaph on Maimonides’s tombstone reads, “From Moses (the prophet) to Moses, there was none like Moses (Maimonides).” The name, “Moses Maimonides” (1138-1204) is an acronym for his Hebraic name Moses ben Maimon). For centuries, yeshiva scholars and students alike affectionately refer to him by the epithet, “the Rambam.” Just as the original Moses became the founder of the religion of ancient Israel, Moses Maimonides redefined Judaism for the future generations—more so than any other Judaic thinker or Halakhic scholar who came before or after him. Modern Judaism owes its conceptual and legal foundations to this remarkable thinker. This remarkable person occupies a rare position in the annals of Jewish history and is widely considered as one of the greatest Jewish thinkers and philosophers who ever lived. Maimonides stature reached almost mythic proportions. Jews of all modern religious persuasions—from the ultra-liberal to the Haredi branches of Orthodoxy each claim Maimonides as their patron hero. Both Christian and Islamic thinkers held Maimonides (who refer to him as Musa ibn Maymun in Arabic writings) in high regard. I have been impressed with the writings of Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel ever since I read his first book on Philo. I enjoyed the comprehensive nature of his writings and the many insights in his books. I liked that he described Philo’s views in an easy to read manner and compared Philo views with those of many ancient and modern writers. Since that time, I wrote six reviews of his Philo books and praised them all. There is much in them that will interest and teach both scholars and readers who had no idea beforehand about this first century philosopher, or just a little information about him. Reading Rabbi Samuel’s books will introduce readers to a large number of Philo ideas, those of other thinkers on the ideas, including the Talmuds and Midrashim, and about philosophy and Judaism generally. Thus, when Rabbi Samuel asked me to write the Foreword to his first book on Maimonides, I was very pleased to accept his offer, both out of respect for his scholarship and because I wrote many books and articles on Maimonides myself. – Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin

Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel has once again made a significant contribution to Jewish scholarship entitled "The Unknown English Torah Commentator: Marcus M. Kalisch on Genesis 1-22." This work promises to be a new trailblazing series introducing readers to the thinking and teachings of Marcus Kalisch (1828-1885). Kalisch integrated the best of Judaic scholarship with the ideas of philosophy, anthropology, comparative literature, linguistics, and classical literature is unique. People of all faith and religious traditions will enjoy reading about Kalisch's novel interpretations of the Bible's most beloved tales. Kalisch always sought to make the ethical lessons of the Pentateuch meaningful for the average reader, rabbi, or scholar. The graphical illustrations add an artistic flare to the commentary, captivating the writer's heart and imagination. Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin, Onkelos on the Torah: Understanding the Biblical Text Marcus Kalisch wrote one of the first extensive commentaries on the Torah to have been written in English. Kalisch ranks as one of the most extraordinary exegetes who ever lived. His expansive command of rabbinical, theological, linguistic, classical, and historical sources was nothing less than kaleidoscopic. Despite having composed his outstanding work over 175 years ago, his thoughts and inspirational content can deeply enrich any biblical student, scholar, or teacher. Kalisch possessed a complete mastery of ancient Jewish texts and could cite the writings of Euripides as easily as he could quote the Talmud. Rabbi Michael Leo Samuel has done a stellar job distilling the best of Kalisch's sophisticated thought. Kalisch's ideas deserve to be disseminated to our era and beyond.
