[The Bible] is been my passion almost from my youth.

You shouldn’t act as a spokesperson for someone who’s trying to impose his will on you.

Therefore, all my adult life, since I began my life as an author, or as a teacher, I always try to listen to the victim.

I needed to know that there was such a thing as love and that it brought smiles and joy in its wake.

For me [Patriarchs] exist. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob exist today. They are people that you see with white beards. I have no doubt of their existence.

Simply because, one hand, there are the haters, The hater has power. All we can do is oppose it, or one becomes an accomplice.

I am looking for the word which is there and shouldn't be there. I wonder, why is it there? Or I look for problems: the Akedah [the Binding of Isaac - Genesis 22]. It still baffles me. Each time I read it - and I read it at least twice a year - each time I discover new layers in it. Always. So this is of more concern to me than the minimalists.
