Dear Friends,

As NYU Professor David Elcott puts it in a recent
article published by Tikkun Magazine and titled
"Subversive Bible Study:"

"The Bible, along with the sacred texts of other
religious communities, has proven to be
troublesome. We have been convinced that the
Bible is the answer, that it is the word of
God -- in whatever fashion we believe that -- and
that it clarifies all of the moral ambiguities we
must face."

Yet there is another tradition of teaching the Bible.
A tradition that ...

"...recognizes moral ambiguity and the Bible as a
deep struggle to wrestle not only with confused
human beings but also with confusing and
conflicting voices of God."

With Tikkun Magazine's permission, I invite you
