Maven in Blue Jeans

This collection of academic essays written by friends and colleagues of Professor Zev Garber is a long-overdue tribute to an outstanding scholar teacher and mentor. Each contribution was written especially for this volume; none have been previously published. The various sections into which these essays are divided reflect the areas in which Professor Garber has devoted his own prodigious teaching and writing energies: the Holocaust Jewish-Christian relations philosophy and theology history biblical interpretation. Also included is a full bibliography of Professor Garber's own writings: books articles both scholarly and popular opinion pieces and the like. The introduction by his good friend Steven Jacobs introduces Professor Garber to those who do not know him and reminds those who do of his important contributions to scholarship.
