Description

After 500 years, the Torah commentary of Don Isaac Abarbanel (Peirush Abarbanel) is now available in English. This volume covers the initial Creation of the Universe from nothingness, and constitutes one quarter of Abarbanel's commentary on the book of Genesis.Abarbanel, also pronounced Abravanel or Abrabanel, is known as a "seeker of truth". He is not beyond questioning the "established" Judaic thinkers, or anyone else, if he thinks they are wrong. He is not afraid to cite non-Jewish thinkers when he believes they are right. His words are sometimes controversial, but never uninteresting. He is extensively quoted by academics, biblical scholars, and other philosophers. Until now, he was not accessible to the lay English-speaker.His style, maintained here, was to cite a verse or set of verses, then ask probing questions, which he answers in detail. The questions and answers are cross-referenced by footnote here. He also extensively quoted a word or two from biblical sources, assuming the reader would know the full verse and context. Those are now cited by footnote here as well.This is a word-by-word translation, not a supercommentary. These are the words of Abarbanel, merely rendered into English.

Author Biography:

Rabbi Hal Miller, formerly from Memphis, Tennessee and Columbus, Ohio, is now the dean of the Golan Abarbanel Research Institute. He is bringing Abarbanel to the English-speaking world for the first time, and plans to perform the same service for other Judaica commentators. He is also the author of several novels and various other works, as well as a weekly Torah drash. In past lives, he retired as a U.S. military officer, practiced law, presided over professional guilds for computer system administrators, and spent more than 40 years building and managing data centers.
