[A] fascinating tale, replete with ethnographic and historical
details, of a strong and sensible woman in a male-dominant environment, navigating her way through palace intrigue and the
cultural clash between Paganism and Yahwism.—
Nehama Aschkenasy, Woman at the
Window: Biblical Tales of Oppression and Escape and the award-winning Eve’s
Journey: Feminist Images in Hebraic Literary Tradition
Jezebel's Daughter kept me up very late last
night. Just had to finish it, and am in awe of the work.… wonderful beyond words. There is hardly a character in the
very long list of personalities that I didn't come to understand or sympathize with, or even hate; and the important ones
seem always to be changing, evolving, and becoming more credible. Amazing!… [A]rt of the highest kind.—
Prof.
Jay Posey
Eighty
years after the death of King Solomon, and more than eight hundred years before Jesus, Queen Athaliah reigned in Jerusalem.
The daughter of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, Athaliah was the only woman in the Bible ever
to reign as queen in her own right in Judah, the Southern Kingdom. The biblical texts, traditional commentators, and scholars
all remember her—when they mention her at all—as a bloodthirsty tyrant. Yet a closer look gives a more complex picture, and
this novel takes an unconventional view of a fascinating woman and her turbulent times. Jezebel’s
Daughter explores the period when the worship, the politics, and the people of the land that gave us the world’s
great monotheisms were in flux, and draws a portrait of the woman without whom the tides of history might have washed away
their foundation.

A novel of the Prophet Jeremiah A tale of the fall of the First Temple and the Babylonian Exile—and
the beginning of Judaism as a modern religion. It’s told by Aliyah, a slavewoman who knew kings, queens, and commoners,
and whose life was intertwined with that of the greatest prophet of her time: Jeremiah.
- I LOVED your book.… [M]y academic work is about historical novels dealing with religions themes, so I
could myself write a book on the 101 ways in which they can be crap or boring or cheesy.… I was totally impressed.…
I… read it… slowly, which I reserve for really interesting things.… [Y]our treatment of the prophetic
experience is really interesting but not clever - you just let it happen… the stuff about gender is blunt and sensible
and avoids being annoyingly topical, which is practically impossible to do . . . - Maria Poggi
Johnson, author of Strangers and Neighbors: What I Have Learned
About Christianity by Living Among Orthodox Jews
- A fascinating look at women's influence on the biblical
world, its society and politics, through the eyes of one woman. - Jan Pottker, author of Janet and Jackie: A Mother and Her Daughter, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
- Rosenbaum
writes with elegance and with verve. Her retelling of Jeremiah's dramatic story was as suspenseful as it was enlightening.... - Dirk Wittenborn, author of Fierce People
- Well
worth reading for anyone interested in the Middle East, religion, or the continuity of culture. - "Squares" Chicago online reviewer
- It definitely sounds strange to talk about a Biblical tale as a
page turner, but this one certainly is. Miss it at your own risk.- Daniel Chejfec, Executive
Director Central Kentucky Jewish Federation
- This book can speak to all those who want a deeper understanding
of Judaism, whatever their religion, as well as to those who are only interested in a powerful story. It is solidly based,
not only in scholarly research, but in experience of the land. It is a gift. - Silvine Farnell,

"Scandalous, thought-provoking, and revolutionary deconstruction of fundamental roots of monotheism
"According to Stanley Rosenbaum, the Bible resembles what a family would retrieve after a tornado hits a trailer
park—some of the family's own possessions mixed with those of others, overlapping, contradicting, and disordered.
Understanding Biblical Israel is a revolutionary attempt to fill in the many gaps left in the historical record."
- Mercer University Press reader
- Addressing the often contradictory pages of the Bible and attributing its conflicts to the diversity of people
who wrote and recorded events in it, Understanding Biblical Israel is overall a finely thought-out presentation and a highly
recommended contribution to Religious Studies reading lists and reference collections. - Midwest Book Review
