Turning the text inside out: modern Jewish thinkers read the Bible (1 of 3)

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

It's becoming increasingly difficult to avoid a choice between fundamentalism - accepting the Bible as the literal word of God - and relegating it to a superstitious historical curiosity. How we can put Torah at the centre of our lives while taking a sophisticated, intellectually convincing approach to the text? This time: Spinoza, biblical criticism and the 'hermeneutics of suspicion'.
