Reviews
By providing us with his always insightful and often original reflections on the hapharoth, Stephen Rosenberg has enriched the scope of Jewish thought, reminding us that the prophets, speaking to their time, speak to ours no less. Their dilemmas are ours. Their ideals have lost none of their passion and power in the intervening centuries. It takes a fine teacher to let us see the old in the new and the new in the old, and that is what he has done. This is a stimulating work, one from which every reader will learn.--Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

Author Information
Stephen Gabriel Rosenberg is an architect specializing in synagogue work and archaeology, and has worked on several major digs in Israel, including Lachish, Shilo, and Ekron. He has yeshiva training and learned for some years in chavrutha with the late Rabbi Shmuel Sperber, and he also has a master's degree from the Institute of Archaeology in London. He has filled numerous communal posts and is at present Honorary Secretary of the Anglo-Israel Archaeology Society. He has lectured to the Spiro Institute in London and Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and to many seminars and synagogue groups on archaeology and the Bible. He has been published in several scholarly journals and conducts weekly classes in Talmud and Bible at the Western Marble Arch Synagogue in London. He is a great-great-grandson of two leading rabbis of Modern Orthodoxy, Samson Raphael Hirsch and Ezriel Hildesheimer, and has always lived as an orthodox Jew, but with an unorthodox interest in the historical and archaeological background of biblical and talmudic literature. He and his wife, Marion, live in London and two of their five children work in Israel as archaeologists.
