Arguing with God: A Jewish Tradition

Arguing with God: A Jewish Tradition by Laytner, Anson. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780765760258.

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.
