Exodus and Emancipation: Biblical and African-American Slavery
Dr. Kenneth Chelst, a distinguished academic, and a wide-ranging and profound scholar of Jewish thought has produced a compelling and utterly original study comparing the biblical account of the enslaved Israelites with the experience of African-American slavery. Dr. Chelst, it would seem, has read and considered everything of consequence that has been written on both subjects, and Exodus and Emancipation is filled with page after page of stunning and illuminating insights. --Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, author of Jewish Literacy and A Code of Jewish Ethics: You Shall be Holy
