Review
A contemporary classic that is a thought-provoking [and] perceptive guide [to the Bible's authorship]. -- New York Times Book Review Brilliantly presented: There is no other book like this one. It may well be unique. -- Los Angeles Times Remarkable. Friedman has written that most rare of books: a legitimate intellectual contribution that is also a good read. The field of biblical studies will be enriched by this book. -- Dallas Times Herald It is an event to have a book as readable and exciting as Who Wrote the Bible? It has about it the resounding smack of solid truth. -- Harvard Magazine
