Page xiii:
The Old Testament idea of the two yetzerim, or "imagimations," or "inclinations," the yetzer ha-ra and the yetzer ha-tov, is also a version of this third theory.
Typo: imagimations should be imaginations.
Factual error: the concept of yetzer ha-tov is not an Old Testament idea. The Old Testament never refers to a yetzer ha-tov.

Page xiv:
Interestingly enough, however, the classical Hebrew term for "patience," erek, does no appear in the book of Job, nor the root from which it comes, arak, that means one who is long suffering.
Typo: no should be not
Factual error: arak = ארך does indeed appear in Job 6.11 - אאריך.

Page 3:
The former consisted of the Mishnah, a summary of oral law, from the fifth to the second century BCE, and the Gemara, a collection of materials that illuminated the Talmud.
In fact, the Mishnah includes contributions from the first centuries of the common era as well. Additionally, the Gemara is a collection of materials that illuminate the Mishnah, not the Talmud.
Later on page 3:
Additionally, the Talmud makes comments about Job's wealth. Whether Job was forgiven by God, as well as whether he believed in survival after death.
As it stands, the second sentence is incomplete. Presumably, these sentences should be combined into a single sentence.
Later on page 3:
In fact, some of the rabbis of the Talmud believed that the book of Job was originally written in Aramaic and then translated into Hebrew.
This is unsupported by the available evidence. The first rabbi to argue that the Hebrew of Job is a translation of some other language (though not necessarily Aramaic) was Abraham ibn Ezra (commentary to Job 2.11). Ibn Ezra was obviously not a rabbi of the Talmud as the Talmud was finished centuries before his birth.

Page 6:
For the final sixty years of his life, from 882 until 942, Saadiah lived in Sura.
Saadia only lived for sixty years, so having him live in Sura for his entire lifespan denies him time to have lived in his birthplace, Palestine and Syria, places he lived in before finally settling in Sura.
