The link to the CV is broken. I could not find the CV online, but Kugel's web site does have a link to a short biography: https://www.jameskugel.com/about/biography/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewOram (talk • contribs) 18:42, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Controversy Chapter
the text is misleading, and it refer to a minority of students, in spite of the alleged claim Kugel was invited to lecture at the Yeshiva University, a religious Jewish University.
 * Kugel is an Orthodox Jew who holds since 1991 a tenured professorship in Bar-Ilan University, a religious Jew University in the State of Israel.
 * John J. Collins (Holmes Professor of Old Testament Criticism and Interpretation) from Yale Divinity School, formerly Chicago University wrote in a critic article about Kugel book "The Bible as it was": "It is not a polemical book. It is a thoroughly positive retrieval of traditional exegesis, whose greatest attraction is the author's obvious love of his material." (Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Vol. 59, No. 3 (2001)).
 * see also the review article by Phyllis Trible: "Kugel is unhappy with what be claims is largely a Protestant captivity of the Bible and the Biblical scholarship over the last few centuries. In contrast, he seeks to recover the ancient interpretive tradition that gave us the Bible as it was." (The New York Times Book Reveiew, December 21, 1997, pp. 7-8.)

Moreover, Kugel wrote the book "On Being a Jew" (Harper-Collins, 1990; paperback edition, Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998), which is statement of defence of tradtional Judaism, it's a Kugel's modern version of the Kuzari book Tzahy (talk) 21:47, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Based on the arguments mentioned above I omit this fallacy premise. Tzahy (talk) 21:42, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
