What is The Pen and the Sword about?
prophets. It manifests a general wariness towards extending the supernatural into the mundane. The God of Israel is not seeking the fealty of the starry-eyed who are prepared to charge up the hill on a nod from the local guru. While Judaism is permeated by the transcendent, it is still a religion of carefully delineated law, carefully grounded in Divine texts.'-a series of broad generalisations. As if Judaism is monolithic and has no use for the starry-eyed, for 'gurus' local or otherwise, and is more prudent than 'most' (most what?) in its approach to miracles and prophets! For all that, the book is clearly written, attractively produced and, in its own way, stimulating in its fresh examination of an age-old theological problem.
