Description:
The daughter of a rabbi, Avivah Zornberg grew up in a world steeped in rabbinic traditions and scholarship. As a student, she also immersed herself in the study of literature. Happily for readers, she found the perfect way to blend her background, interests, and expertise. In "The Particulars of Rapture", Zornberg interweaves lively literary insights and theological wisdom to breathe new life into the familiar story of the Israelites and their flight from slavery in Egypt. With impressive dexterity, Zornberg unveils connections between the Bible and great works of literature, philosophy, and psychology. Her spirited wit and her lyrical writing style encourage readers to join her in the search for new meanings in Exodus -- an adventure they will find both intellectually stimulating and spiritually rewarding.
Expand description
Zornberg's previous book, The Beginning of Desire: Reflections on Genesis, won the Jewish Book Award for Nonfiction in 1995, and became one of the touchstones in the Jewish spirituality movement that has surged in recent years. Of interest to both the Jewish and the Christian reader, "The Particulars of Rapture" will enhance Zornberg's reputation as one of today's most original and entertaining interpreters of the biblical and rabbinic traditions.
