KIRKUS REVIEW
This book deals with some of the more significant events in the history of the discovery and translation of various scripts and texts of the Bible, and ranges from the Septuagint through the second century translators--and corrupters--Luther's translation, the work of Origen and Jerome, the discoveries of Tischendorf, and twentieth century translators, including Msgr. Ronald Knox. The book does not aim at being a complete history of the translations of Scripture, but presents some of the more important and dramatic aspects of translating enterprises. The factors influencing the work of translation are identified as the narrative proceeds, and the inevitable subjective bent of the translators is often exposed. This should be a book of interest not only to those concerned with Biblical scholarship, but to other readers… Read More

In The Power of Congress, 45 members of Congress go one-on-one with Robert LeFevre (author, teacher, and president emeritus of Rampart College) and give us more insights than they could possibly have intended. LeFevre originally wrote to 533 members of the House and Senate concerning the self-contradictory nature of political representation in America. But after three months and 122 letters, the resulting dialogue had spilled over into every aspect of our political system the legislators could cite in defense of their function and conduct. LeFevre gave to R. S. Radford, an instructor of economics at the University of Southern California, the opportunity to edit for publication this astonishing collection.

" Gratz is believed to be the model for the Rebecca character in Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe."
Rebecca Gratz (1781-1869) was a preeminent nineteenth-century Jewish American educator and philanthropist. Many letters in this volume were to and about Montrealers, since Rebecca Gratz had constant communication through letters and visits with her niece/adoptive daughter, Mrs. Jacob Henry Joseph (née Sara Gratz Moses). Mrs. Joseph was an important Montreal philanthropist.
Daughter of an old and prominent Jewish-American family, Gratz was active from a very early age in philanthropic causes. As early as 1801, when she was 21, she was secretary of the "Female… Read More

Kirkus Review: Conversations with over 100 "newborn" Americans, Jewish survivors of Nazi concentration camps, interlaced and spun through events to produce a work of poetic reportage that transcends the interview-investigation format. A half-dozen key life histories build up around a grim touchstone: the 1972 deportation hearings of Hermine Braunsteiner Ryan, a Vice-Kommandant of the Maidanek camp before re-surfacing as a Queens, New York housewife. Nightmare testimony of starvation and torture, memories of less fortunate parents, brothers, and sisters--the horrors share space with adventures of escape, liberation, immigration, and settlement. From Auschwitz, Belsen, and Dachau to Kew Gardens, Kansas City, Memphis, and Corpus Christi; some American-dream overnight successes, but mostly recitals of hard-won acclimatization, perpetual restlessness, and… Read More

To such detachment I can make all the less claim as I freely admit an abiding reverence for the history of my own people, and, for the life of ancient Greece and Rome, a passionate affection that is frankly unreasoning. At no place in the course of the following pages have I been consciously apologetic. It is true that where several explanations of an incident are possible, I have not always selected the one most discreditable to the Jews. Doubtless that will not be forgiven me by those who have accepted the anti-Semitic pamphlets of Willrich as serious contributions to historical research.The literature on the subject is enormous. Very few references to what are known as "secondary" sources will, however,… Read More
