| Summary: | Aviam Soifer said that Robert Cover's death left many of us with the feeling that a vital conversation had been interrupted in mid-sentence.

Their focus is upon some tough biblical texts, the kind that leave the mark of their infectious truculence upon those whom they irresistibly engage.And he said,"Go and say to this people:‘Hear and hear, but do not understand;See and see, but do not perceive.’Make the heart of this people fat,and their ears heavy,and shut their eyes;lest they see with their eyes,and hear with their ears,and understand with their hearts,and turn and be healed. |
