Contentions With God, A Study in Jewish Folklore: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short booklet is filled with interesting Jewish folklore. Almost all of it involves Rabbinical councils condemning God for contradictions in Torah law, sometimes to the point of "suing" their deity on behalf of aggrieved plaintiffs (it isn't certain how they are reimbursed by the losing party!) A slightly humorous depiction of the Jewish god ensues, and on one occasion, even death itself is bested.

40 pages.

The Supernatural: Now Available!



This is a frightfully short but very interesting work which, as with a few others I have edited, is primarily a speech (an oratory) meant to be delivered to an audience, as opposed to a booklet in and of itself. Penned by the well known Congregationalist Lyman Abbott. Here he expounds a bit on his evolving conception of his god and the presence of spiritual forces and states that he conceives of his deity as inter-penetrating all things while also refuting polytheism.

The title is slightly misleading since it is more about the form of divinity than the supernatural in a more general sense but it is still an interesting opinion piece.
