Reading material II

I’ve started reading We Have Reason to Believe, the book which got Rabbi Dr. Louis Jacobs into so much trouble in the 1960s and which continues to divide British Jewry today. Several pages into it, I have come to one conclusion: nobody proof-read this new, expanded edition.
From the introduction: “The sam (sic) applies to the otherwise unrealistic story of Noah’s Art (sic).”
Talk about revisionism. No wonder he got branded a heretic!
