Judaism is Not the Religion of the Bible

From the book, Judaism and the Christian Predicament, written by Rabbi Ben Zion Boxer in 1966:

Pope Paul VI, in his Encyclical "Ecclesiam Suam," pleaded for friendly relations between the Church and other faiths. Speaking of the Jews he said: "Then we see another circle around us. This too is vast in it's extent, yet it is not so far away from us. It is made up of the men who above all adore the one, supreme God whom we too adore. We refer to the children, worthy of our affection and respect, of the Hebrew people, faithful to the religion we call that of the Old Testament." 1

This is not an uncommon impression and one finds it sometimes among Jews as well as Christians--that Judaism is the religion of the Hebrew Bible. It is of course a fallacious impression. ... whoever would seek to compare the classic Jewish tradition with the biblical world of faith and life would find some startling contrasts. ... Much of what exists in Judaism is absent in the Bible, and much of what is in the Bible cannot be found in Judaism. (Page 59)

Judaism is not the religion of the Bible. (Page 159, emphasis in original)
