Isaiah has a richer theology of creation than any book of the Bible. Isaiah uses the Hebrew word for «create» more than any book of the Bible. Isaiah ends with a vision of the creation of a new heavens and a new earth.
Isaiah uses the name Jacob more than any book of the Bible except for Genesis itself. The name Jacob is used in Isaiah almost as many times as it is used in all of the books of the prophets combined. Isaiah even says that God created Jacob. Isaiah also mentions the Garden of Eden, Abraham and Sarah, Noah and the flood, with echoes of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, the Tower of Babel, Isaac, Rachel, and Joseph and his brothers.
Many scholarly studies have ignored the importance of Genesis in Isaiah. This book argues Genesis is Isaiah's instrument to re-form the identity of the exilic and post-exilic Jewish communities.

Kaesolevas raamatus tuuakse paevavalgele Mossadi koige keerukamad operatsioonid ja koige vapramad kangelased. Raagitakse ka nende eksimustest ja labikukkumistest, mis on mitmel korral agentuuri mainet kahjustanud ja selle alustalasid koigutanud. Salateenistuse tegevus on mitmel moel Iisraeli saatust ja maailma muutnud. Koigele vaatamata kannustab Mossadi salaagente sugav ja idealistlik kodumaa-armastus, taielik puhendumine oma riigi sailimise eest voitlemisele ning valmisolek vastu astuda koige hirmsamatele ohtudele, nad on Iisraeli nimel koigeks valmis.

Kolme Iisraeli-aasta jooksul joudsin elada religioosses juudi peres, oppida heebrea keelt ja muusikat ning kohtuda toesti omaparaste inimestega, kelle hulka sattusid poliitajaloolane, sabatihommikused „joodikud“, ministrid, araablastest aednikud, professorid, psuhholoogid… Katsusin moista iidsete kommete tausta ja uritasin tolkida sabatit eesti keelde. Avastasin ka neid vaatamisvaarsusi, millest turist aimu ei saa.Iisraellaste seas voib noutult korvaltvaatajaks jaada voi saada hingelt aina rikkamaks. Voi jouda seisukohale, et selle maa inimesed on poikpaised, kuid targad ja sudamlikud. Kolme aabrahamliku usundi – judaismi, kristluse ja islami – ristumispunkt Jeruusalemm, mida voib oigusega pidada maailma nabaks, sai mulle koduseks ja armsaks. Toin Iisraeli ka Eestisse kaasa: heebrea keelt kuulen ja opin edasi, juudi kultuurist raagib meiegi raadio ning mul on alles head lounamaa sobrad.

On May 14, 1948 the State of Israel was declared, announced by David Ben-Gurion at a small gathering that assembled in the main hall of the Tel Aviv Art Museum. Within a time frame of only nineteen years, culminating in the Six-Day War, Israel fought three separate wars. But within its first four years, thanks to mass immigration, its population doubled. Furthermore, Israel had been confronted with acute economic difficulties, intra Jewish ethnic tensions, a problematic Arab minority and a secular-religious divide. Apart from defence issues, Israel faced a generally hostile or, at best, indifferent international community rendering it hard pressed in securing great power patronage or even official sympathy and understanding. Based on a wide range of sources, both in Hebrew and English, this book contains a judicious synthesis of the received literature to yield the general reader and student alike a reliable, balanced, and novel account of Israel?s fateful and turbulent infancy.
