It’s a Keeper

I normally pass on my copies of BR after I have read them, but the August issue is a “keeper” thanks to Bernhard Lang’s glossary of God’s many names. I plan to keep it on my reference shelf.

BR Second to Bible

As a new subscriber to your fascinating magazine, I was skeptical that the Old Testament would be portrayed in a non-anti-Semitic way. The articles I have read—my first exposure to true facts about the New Testament, too—have been so illuminating that I look forward to the coming issues. I have been a student of Torah for the past six years and have taken many interesting classes, but nowhere except for the Bible have I read anything that got me thinking so intently as Ogden Goelet’s article on Moses’ “real name” and its meanings (“Moses’ Egyptian Name,” BR 19:03). It was like a light went on—an aha! moment if you will: An Egyptian princess would never give a foundling baby a Hebrew name. I look forward to more thought-provoking articles.
