Book Synopsis
In "The Original Torah", S. David Sperling argues that, while there is no archaeological evidence to support much of the activity chronicled in the Torah, a historical reality exists there if we know how to seek it.

Trade Review
"An excellent and provocative read . . . challenges the reader to rethink previously held suppositions concerning biblical texts." -- Carl S. Ehrlich,York University
"Likely to be the standard work on this subject for years to come, and to contribute to one of the most important debates in the history of the Jewish people, on the very nature of Israel and the Covenant." -- James R. Russell,Harvard University
"The modern biblical interpreter . . . faces a daunting task in trying to unravel the intentions of the Torah's authors. S. does not retreat from the challenge." * Theological Studies *
