Roots of the Bible

More about the book

Friedrich Weinreb's influential work delves into the depths of Jewish wisdom, drawing connections between the Biblical worldview and contemporary life. By exploring the "sacred oral teaching" preserved over centuries, he provides insights that illuminate the often complex narratives of the Old Testament. First published in Dutch in 1963, this book serves as a key to understanding the Bible's storytelling techniques through a unique lens of "gematria," making it accessible even to those unfamiliar with Hebrew, while conveying the richness of the original text.
