He explores the Bible, in particular difficult passages of the Bible, with life-giving, refreshing freedom." Then, in an Afterword from a Muslim Perspective, Wayne State University scholar Saeed Khan reminds readers that these timeless texts are "some of the greatest stories in the human experience."Rabbi Furman's interpretations often challenge traditional understandings while remaining deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and a profound love for Torah, and his Jewish colleagues agree.
