Product Description
As a Jew, Dan Jacobson has long been aware of the notion of a ?people chosen by God?. In The Story of the Stories, he uses his Jewishness as a premise to discuss the contradictions of being thought of as ?special? ? its opportunities and its deadly temptations. The result is a deeply profound and serious meditation that sheds an entirely new light on Biblical scholarship and orthodox theology. On first publication, The Story of the Stories was hailed as a seminal work.
