• Sommario/riassunto: More than 40 years have passed since the author first put forward the argument that traditionally observant Jews have no reason to take issue with the results obtained by the historical critics in their investigation into the Bible & the other classical sources of Judaism. The author has argued that the traditional doctrine which claims that 'the Torah is from Heaven' can and should be maintained - provided that the word 'from' is understood in a non-fundamentalist way to denote that there is a human as well as a divine element in the Torah. As a result of these views, which were first published in the still-controversial text 'We Have Reason to Believe', the Anglo-Jewish Orthodox hierarchy banned the author from serving as an Orthodox rabbi. This text examines afresh all the issues involved.
