Free eBooks Tanakh, An Owner's Manual: Authorship, Canonization, Masoretic Text, Exegesis, Modern Scholarship And Pedagogy Available To Downloads
Tanakh, an Owner’s Manual offers both a modern and Orthodox approach to the historical and literary frameworks within which the Hebrew Bible should be learned and appreciated. It covers the authorship of its 24 constituent books, their designation as sacred literature (canonization), the development of the Masoretic text, a survey of classic medieval and modern commentaries, the interaction of traditional exegesis and modern biblical scholarship, and a gradual curriculum for developing biblical literacy and comprehension. It reflects the author’s insights as they developed over 40 years of studying and teaching, and will be of interest to teachers, students, and anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the Hebrew Bible.

One of the best books on the topic. Sokolow displays absolute mastery of the topic. A much needed addition to the literature about Tanakh. This book will become a standard reference in the years to come. This book is the best I've seen on this topic in English.
It is a good book but it does not say much about the history of the masoretic text which is what i was looking for.
Thank you Dr. Sokolow for a phenomenal manual
This was a gift for my husband, and he was so excited to receive it!
R Sokolow is a product of YU, and it's for a YU audience that this book is written. The author has allowed his hands to be tied by granting reverence to the beraita in Bava Batra as if its words were on stone.If one wants to teach Tanakh to a purely Orthodox audience, one would be well-served by the pedagogical lessons presented. Otherwise, it's less of an "Owner's Manual" than an apology for a world where everything must meet a political correctness.
