Audacious Jews Volume 1

From King David to David Ben-Gurion, via Jesus, Freud and more - the lives, ideas and influence of seven audacious Jews - what they did, what they believed and their contribution to the Jewish story.  Courageous, challenging and often misunderstood, they left a lasting legacy for both Jews and the wider world.  Their insight and experiences can still be applied to help tackle contemporary moral and political challenges
