On this edition of By the Book, sponsored by Koren Publishers, Nachum Segal interviewed Judy Klitsner about her book “Subversive Sequels in the Bible – How Biblical Stories Mine and Undermine Each Other.”

From the Koren website:

In Subversive Sequels in the Bible, master Bible teacher Judy Klitsner takes us on a thrilling voyage of discovery through familiar biblical narratives. Deeply faithful to the texts, but daring in her interpretive approach, she draws stunning parallels between biblical passages to reveal previously overlooked layers of meaning. With a unique combination of scholarship, creativity and passion, Klitsner illustrates the dynamic nature of biblical attitudes toward timeless issues of self, gender and universalism. The result is a collection of provocative, original readings that will transform your understanding of the Bible. Winner of The National Jewish Book Award.
