Rashkover's insightful and generous yet provocative reading will prove to be a noteworthy touchstone in this field for years to come. -- -Willie Young Endicott College By contrast, Rashkover's criticisms of Agamben and others who surreptitiously undermine Jewish law and revelation are quite welcome. Although her own writing is more than a bit tinged by the rhetoric of her postmodern opponents--a problem at times--her sturdy defense of the law in light of contemporary scholarship offers the reader a wealth of ideas to consider. Compelling and frustrating by turns, Freedom and Law may indeed have the power to energize Jewish-Christian apologetics by showing not only the impediments to their mutual discourse, but also the paths to their mutual understanding. -H-Judaic Author InformationRandi Rashkover is associate professor of religious studies at George Mason University. She is the author of Freedom and Law: A Jewish-Christian Apologetics and Revelation and Theopolitics: Barth, Rosenzweig and the Politics of Praise.
