In addition to her book The Challenge of Received Tradition: Dilemmas of Interpretation in Radak’s Biblical Commentaries, published by Oxford University Press in 2013, Dr. Grunhaus is co-editor of From Scrolls to Traditions: A Festschrift Honoring Professor Lawrence H. Schiffman, to be published in 2020 by E.J. Brill.
