Its real interest lies to me in how it depicts the interactions of this early form of Judaism and its practitioners with other faiths and their practitioners.
Numbers Review
After enumerating the numbers of the different tribes and their basic demographic features, Numbers turns to the employment of those numbers, and not just for the proper proportional sacrifices and offerings to God, or for determining how much food and water might be necessary. Rather, the major use of the census seems to be for the creation of an army.
Leviticus Review
The rulebook-like nature of Leviticus is probably why you don’t see it referenced or quoted more often, or maybe it’s because people struggle to quote Biblical passages about wave-breasts and heave-thighs with a straight face.
Streams of Living Water Review
Any time Foster is at risk of plunging deeply into knotty philosophical or theological issues, he deploys an exclamation that amounts to avoiding deeper thinking by repeating an emphatic “God is great!” as a solution and answer to any further questions.
Genesis Review
It probably sounds terribly sacrilegious, but the God in Genesis feels like a God who is sort of figuring things out as He goes.
American Catholic Review
Perhaps of the greatest interest in American Catholic is the acknowledgement of some of the foundations, largely from the political and cultural movements of the 1960s, of the modern tensions between establishment and exercise.
Sacks’ Haggadah Review
Written approachably, so that even someone (like me) who has only a limited background in Judaism can follow the arguments and assertions he makes, many of the essays offer unique insights that are applicable regardless of your religious faith.
The Memory of Earth Review
He presents a unique culture, which we can know exists as a transient blip in that enormous history, and he gives us the Oversoul, one of the most philosophically challenging science fiction elements I’ve ever encountered.
Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry
WB Yeats, a famous Irish poet and playwright in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, undertook to collect the folktales of his homeland.
Paradise Lost Review
Paradise Lost honestly read at points more like genre fiction than like a piece of classic religious literature, and I do not in any way mean that to be construed as an insult.
