1 comments about Beyond The Graven Image: A Jewish View.
- What is holy? What is not? Kochan explores the Jewish view of what constitutes idolatry, and the idea that most sanctity is temporary. Hearing is esteemed over seeing in traditional Judaism; the making of an image of a human, who shares the image of the Divine, is strictly controlled by Jewish law. The non-sanctity of matter, the implications of conferring sanctity upon images, and the importance to Judaism of iconoclasm are all discussed in a concise, readable volume.

2 comments about Folk Art and Magic: Shamanism in Korea.
- A coffee-table art book filled with photos rather than a work of critical scholarship. The first-half, which concerns itself with the art of shamanism, is pretty good. The second half is an analysis and description of shamanstic rituals; it's not so good. The author clearly knows and cares a lot about Korean shamanism and its art; and he gives a fair coverage of both. But just as clearly he's not a profesional photographer or scholar of religion. I really wanted to know about Korean shamanism and the book was helpful, so even though it's expensive I don't regret buying it at all. If you also really want to know, you won't regret it either.
- The first half, focusing on the spirits and the iconography, is excellent. The rest of the book is, frankly, weak on content. It has a good bibliography and some good photography. The book is helpful if you plan to visit Buddhist temples or witness Shamanist kuts. On the other hand, if you are looking for academic work, this isn't it.
