In Torah Wrestling, Rabbi Roy Furman invites readers into an engaging and transformative exploration of the most challenging and inspiring stories in the Bible's first five books. With intellectual rigor, deep ethical sensitivity, and a storyteller's grace, Rabbi Furman breathes new life into stories both familiar and unfamiliar. This book is an ideal book for Jews, Christians and Muslims who wrestle with the moral dilemmas of our time while drawing wisdom from the Torah's timeless teachings.
In a "Foreword from a Christian Perspective," Reformed Journal Editor Jeffrey Munroe writes: "I wished I had been a member of one of Rabbi Furman's congregations. He explores the Bible, in particular difficult passages of the Bible, with life-giving, refreshing freedom." Then, in an Afterword from a Muslim Perspective, Wayne State University scholar Saeed Khan reminds readers that these timeless texts are "some of the greatest stories in the human experience."
Rabbi Furman's interpretations often challenge traditional understandings while remaining deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and a profound love for Torah, and his Jewish colleagues agree. Torah Wrestling can bring people together across religious and cultural lines to talk about how these Bible stories can be "a mirror for our world today," writes Rabbi Allan Kensky in his Preface to the book.
Even if you "are coming to Torah for the first time, Rabbi Furman's innovative insights will intrigue and empower you," writes Rabbi Laura Geller.
That's because Rabbi Furman confronts the complexities of sacred scripture with honesty and courage, grappling with issues of patriarchy, intolerance, divine justice, and human suffering. He encourages readers to embrace the struggle, offering fresh insights that empower readers to find relevance and inspiration in ancient texts.
Perfect for individual reflection or group study. Rabbi Furman offers readers a free, downloadable discussion guide to help spark spirited conversations.
Torah Wrestling bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary challenges, inviting all readers to discover the vibrant, transformative power of Torah.
