Faye Kellerman: “The Heretic is a sweeping tale of love, honor, justice, religion and morality, meticulously researched and wonderfully exciting”

Alan M. Dershowitz: “The Heretic helps us to understand why the Pope is correct in insisting that the Catholic Church do much more to seek tschuva – forgiveness and redemption – for its monumental sins and crimes against the Jewish people. The Heretic humanizes the tragic history of religious persecution”

First Things - Richard John Neuhaus: “The Heretic vividly dramatizes the sins which John Paul II has asked Christians to candidly acknowledge”

John Cardinal O’Connor: “The Spanish Inquisition of which you write in The Heretic was just one tragic event out of many in the Jewish-Catholic encounter. As we freely admit the sins of many of our Catholic brothers and sisters over the centuries, we can move on, hopefully liberated by the truth and reminded by it to challenge hatred and intolerance in our present time.”

Hadassah Magazine - Zelda Shluker: “captivating, with all the elements of the full Jewish saga ... well-researched … The Heretic contains the kernel of perpetual hope and rebirth”

Bishop John J. Snyder: “The Heretic is an absorbing, challenging and important epic which presents us with a part of the Church's history that we would rather not face. We are challenged not to follow that path in the years to come”

Bishop J. Kendrick Williams: “a moving glimpse into the emotions of the Jewish experience”

Professor Jane S. Gerber - Director, CUNY Sephardic Center: “a truly first rate job of recreating the complex tragedy and drama of Jewish life in 15th century Spain ... the best fiction I have encountered using Sephardic history as a backdrop”

Dr. Eugene J. Fisher - National Conference of Catholic Bishops: “a mitzvah for the Church, and for future generations of Catholics and Jews.”
