God at the Edge: Searching for the Divine in Uncomfortable and Unexpected Places
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Harmony Books
- Publish date: 12/01/2002
Description:
Niles Goldstein is a rabbi, but he's unlike any rabbi you've ever met. We are used to seeking security in God; he seeks God in risk. God at the Edge is his examination of his own exciting, sometimes terrifying experiences and those of the great religious figures of the ages: Jonah, Kierkegaard, the Baal Shem Tov, Martin Luther, and others. A night in jail for a pre-rabbinical outburst leads to a discussion of St. John of the Cross and the darkness within us. A harrowing solo encounter with a grizzly bear inspires musings on the meaning of fear. A missionary trip (without visas) through Central Asia yields thoughts on Nachman of Bratslav, "the model and spirit of the Jewish itinerant".
Expand description
God at the Edge is a call to widen, not narrow, the dimensions of our inner lives, an invitation to explore what happens when the border between the material and the metaphysical blurs.
