Reviews

Having spent much of the last two decades writing non-fiction books and articles about what Shreiber calls the Jewish Christian Borderzone, I feel a strong kinship with this beautiful and significant work. This book, the first of its kind, complements my work on biblical texts by exploring the same topic through magnificently explicated modern novels and poems. In Holy Envy, Shreiber moves from Krister Stendahl's concept of holy envy to her own innovative notion of holy insecurity, giving us powerful language for inter-religious dialogue, and a wonderful set of tools for anyone trying to appreciate the religion of the other.---Marc Zvi Brettler, Morton and Bernice Lerner Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies, Duke University, and co-author, with Amy-Jill Levine, of The Bible With and Without Jesus: How Jews and Christians Read the Same Stories Differently.,
