As an old proverb puts it, _Two Jews, three opinions._ In the long, rich, tumultuous history of the Jewish people, this characteristic contentiousness has often been extended even unto Heaven. Arguing with God is a highly original and utterly absorbing study that skates along the edge of this theological thin ice_at times verging dangerously close to blasphemy_yet also a source of some of the most poignant and deeply soulful expressions of human anguish and yearning.
Drawing on examples from biblical through modern times, Rabbi Laytner details Judaism's rich and pervasive tradition of calling God to task over human suffering and injustice. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
