Hoffman is author of the academic work 'Judaism's Strange Gods',
amongst other books.

Introduction by the Saker: I have always had a passion for theology
in general and the studies of religions in general. Several years
ago I discovered, quite by chance, a book written by Michael A.
Hoffman II entitled Judaism’s Strange Gods
https://www.amazon.com/Judaisms-Strange-Gods-Revised-Expanded/dp/0970378483/?tag=unco037-20
which I found most interesting and thought provoking.

Reading that book, I felt that I wanted to find out much more and I
ended up ordering and reading Michael A. Hoffman II’s magnum opus
Judaism Discovered: A Study of the Anti-Biblical Religion of Racism,
Self-Worship, Superstition and Deceit
https://www.amazon.com/Judaism-Discovered-Anti-Biblical-Self-Worship-Superstition/dp/0970378459
which absolutely amazed me: over 1000 pages packed with information,
sources and most interesting analyses. Needless to say, the book was
also very controversial and elicited all sorts of negative reactions
from various reviewers.

Here I need to immediately begin by a disclaimer: while the topic of
“Rabbinical Phariseism” (modern “Judaism” should be called something
like “Rabbinical Phariseism” since all modern Judaic denomination
are descendants of the sect of the Pharisees; furthermore, this
religion is dramatically different from the religion of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob: it is the religion of Maimonides, Karo, Luria and
others) has always fascinated me and while I do have a graduate
degree in theology, I am absolutely not qualified to endorse or
refute the views of Hoffman.

What I can say is that his books are very well written, well
researched, fully sourced and that I see no contradictions between
what he wrote and the little I personally know about this topic. As
for his critique of the religion of the Rabbinical Pharisees (from
which all form of modern “Orthodox Judaism” stem from), it is not
“racist” in any way: unlike ethnicity, a ---religion is a personal
choice and thus a legitimate target for scrutiny and criticism---
and Hoffman’s condemnation of Rabbinical Phariseism is in no way
harsher than the writings of Church Fathers like Saint Justin
Martyr, Saint John Chrysostome, Saint Cyprian of Carthage or Saint
Ephrem the Syrian.

Hoffman recently published another amazing book, the 700 pages long
“The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome”
https://www.amazon.com/Occult-Renaissance-Church-Rome/dp/0990954722/?tag=unco037-20
which I began reading (I am about 1/3rd through) with, again, rapt
interest. Yet again, here was a very well researched and beautifully
controversial book which gave me as strong desire to speak with the
author and, luckily for me, Michael A. Hoffman II has kindly agree
to replies to my questions to him on his life and research. The
following is the full unedited Q&A with I had with him.
