Isaac Kalimi, Fighting Over the Bible For Sale

The complete title of this book is Fighting Over the Bible: Jewish Interpretation, Sectarianism and Polemic from Temple to Talmud and Beyond. From the back cover: The Hebrew Bible/Old Testament is an important sacred text for all branches of the Abrahamic faiths, but it has more often divided them than unified them. This volume explores the roots of these interpretative conflicts and controversies and traces the rich exegetical and theological approaches that grew out of them. Fighting Over the Bible explores the bitter conflicts between mainstream Jews and their internal and external opponents, especially among groups such as the Pharisees, the Sadducees, Qumranites, Samarians, Rabbanites, and Karaites, as well as with Christians and Muslims regarding the interpretations of Jewish Scripture. The book is in new condition. Please see my photos and thanks for your interest.
