A next and fresh approach to the contemporary issues and challenges facing two ancient world religious traditions—Judaism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The articles included in the text are insightful, well-written, and worth reading. I highly recommend the book to all who are interested in exploring the views of these traditions, especially for those who seek answers to the questions so often avoided and not addressed. A great book and something that makes us think “outside the box.”
