lluminating Scriptural Connections: A Qur’anic Commentary on the Torah
By Rick Sopher and Abdullah Galadari
The Jewish Publication Society
University of Nebraska Press
Engaging both scripture and history, Illuminating Scriptural Connections underscores the shared linguistic heritage of Hebrew and Arabic, and challenges assumptions of opposition to demonstrate instead a profound reciprocity of ideas. It opens new spaces for interfaith understanding and connection, showing that the spiritual DNA of Judaism and Islam are intertwined far more closely than centuries of misunderstanding have allowed us to see.

God and the First Families: Parenting, Trauma, and Healing in the Book of Genesis
By Stephen Spector
The Jewish Publication Society
University of Nebraska Press
Compellingly, author Stephen Spector introduces Americans’ four main perceptions of God and their four most common styles of parenting as lenses through which we can reckon with God’s own methods of parenting in the first biblical book. Surviving trauma, healing from parental favouritism, repairing broken relationships, earning forgiveness, possibly even reconciling after injury—Genesis offers wisdom on all.
