Living Biblically

Christian Living

“In this groundbreaking work, Kalman Kaplan demonstrates how the humanistic values and the wisdom of Hebrew Scripture can be effectively applied both to clinical psychology and to living a life of joy, freedom, hope, happiness, and fulfillment.”

Preaching Biblical Texts

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Exceptional, stimulating, and enlightening. . . . Joining efforts with other prominent Jewish and Christian scholars, the editors have provided a book that offers an entrée to the biblical text for the uninitiated, new insights into familiar texts for the initiated, a treasure trove of sermonic possibilities for the homilist, and profound insight into the common roots and historically divergent branches of Jewish and Christian biblical hermeneutics.”

The Fruit of Her Hands

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This informative, provocative, insightful, and eminently readable book both depicts and celebrates the women of Hebrew Scripture. Their independence, interdependence, courage, integrity, wisdom, and commitment are presented as an expression of covenantal biblical values, as a source of emulation for us today as we seek models for personal identity and interpersonal relationships, and as a much-needed alternative to the undesirable models rooted in Greek mythology and to the demeaning portrayal of women in Western philosophy epitomized by Aristotle's definition of a woman as a castrated man. As this fine work demonstrates, the wisdom of the Bible continues to address the challenges of yesterday and today with moral relevance, powerful poignancy, and remarkable psychological insight.”
