Critics Review

These paperback editions of his timeless works celebrate his legacy for today. With stunning new covers and forewords by brilliant writers from around the world, they are perfect for anyone wishing to reacquaint themselves with Rabbi Sacks’ writing, and for introducing a new generation to his evergreen wisdom. * Jewish News *…wonderfully articulate and highly readable book – David Alton * The Main Universe *We, the majority, could want no more eloquent and intelligent advocate than Jonathan Sacks to ‘speak for England’, or indeed for Britain. – David Martin * The Tablet *Identity in a post-multicultural society will have a new foundation, if Sacks has his way. * The Tablet *I found Mr Sack’s detailed examination of social contracts and civil society, which he suggests is best grounded in covenantal commitments, most interesting… I was encouraged by Mr Sack’s vision. * Journey Online *British Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks is the premier public intellectual of Judaism in the English-speaking world and has no obvious counterpart in the communities of Judaism conducted in other languages. No one in Israeli intellectual life competes …This book joins with its predecessors…to form an oeuvre of moral authority and compelling logic. For a corpus of writing substantially less ambitious than this some have received the Nobel Prize. – Jerusalem PostThere is much of great wisdom here, for readers of all faiths and none. – Bishop of ThetfordSacks confronts issues many would prefer to ignore and presents responses which will make some people uncomfortable. Nevertheless these are issues we have to address if we want to enjoy social cohesion. * IPA Review *This important book…addresses a crucial theme * Church Times *A deeply philosophical, yet extremely hard-hitting book. – Doreen Wachmann * Jewish Telegraph *[Sacks] argues like an expert dancer, leading his audience through a waltz of lilting reasonableness. – Rafael Behr * Observer *
