Author Information

Paula Fredriksen is the Aurelio Professor of Scripture Emerita at Boston University and distinguished visiting professor of comparative religion at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She divides her time between Boston and Jerusalem. Pam Ward, an AudioFile Earphones Award-winning narrator, found her true calling reading books for the blind and physically handicapped for the Library of Congress' Talking Books program. The fact that she can work with Blackstone Audio from the beauty of the mountains of Southern Oregon is an unexpected bonus.
