He produces detailed research to support a theory which could make the term 'anti-Semitism' become void of meaning.

The Old Testament is one of the most carefully studied books in the world’s history. It is also one of the most misunderstood. This founding text of the world’s three largest religions is also, Erich Fromm argues, an impressive radical humanist text.
