The book addresses provocative questions such as:

  • What is the proper way to interpret the Torah?
  • How does Maimonides understand the episodes of the Prophets?
  • Did miracles such as the splitting of the Red Sea, the falling of the walls at Jericho, and the sun standing still for Joshua really occur?
  • What assumptions cause us to misunderstand the Bible?
  • Is there a biblical mandate prohibiting suicide?
  • Does the Bible forbid ceding parts of the land of Israel for peace?
  • Can children be punished for their parents misdeeds, and, if not, why does the Torah say that they are punished?
  • Why does Shabbat begin at different times for men and women?
  • Why did significant biblical leaders violate rabbinical laws? What really caused the adding of a day to holidays shortly after the time of Moses?
  • Why does the Bible not always mean what it appears to say? Is it true that Judaism does not know what happens after death
