Have I ever recommended you read Jonathan Levi's "A Guide for the Perplexed"? (Not to be confused with the better known book of the same name by Moses Maimonides). Well, I should. Some reviewers didn't like it, but I found it highly enjoyable, and worth pondering a smidge. Read, and discuss.

[Hmmm. Maybe I need to post a list of books. Maybe even an Amazon wishlist. After all, I seem to be practically the last blogger in Christendom without a little paypal button. Maybe I could "bleg" for books. Mmmmmmm, boooooooks.]
