Michael Carasik is the compiler and translator of the Rubin JPS Miqra'ot Gedolot Commentators' Bible series and the author of Theologies of the Mind in Biblical Israel.

"[Carasik's] prose is easy to read and he has no political or theological agenda other than to help readers appreciate the richness and depth of the biblical material. The Bible's Many Voices would be perfect for an adult education class or a multi-month discussion at a book club, although anyone interested in the Bible might want to add this work to their shelves."-Rabbi Rachel Esserman, The Reporter “A good addition to any nonfiction collection that includes Bible study.”-Association of Jewish Libraries "Carasik leads us gently through the texts. . . . The Bible gains a new vibrancy as we encounter more complexity and nuance."-Rabbi Louis A. Rieser, Congregational Libraries Today "This is an interesting book that will open up a whole new way of reading the Bible."-Simcha Ro Senberg, Jewish Bible Quarterly "An engaging presentation of the most current scholarship about the Jewish Bible. Carasik's description of the numerous voices, which speak in its pages, illumines their teachings, illustrates their origin, and clarifies their relationships with each other and the world from which they emerged."—Frederick E. Greenspahn, Gimelstob Eminent Scholar of Judaic Studies, Florida Atlantic University.
