Yoram Hazony (bio below) will be speaking on his new book, The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture (Cambridge University Press).

Steven Pinker hails the book as a "deep and lucid investigation of the connections between the two chief strands of our intellectual history. A great achievement."

Lord Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the British Commonwealth describes the work as "a paradigm-shifting work of immense significance."

I hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be an exciting talk.
