Today's Moralists all too often come and promote values from
the Christian Bible--but has America considered listening to other
sources for information? "Defending the Human Spirit: Jewish
Law's Vision for a Moral Society" is a look at the Jewish
Law's vision for a more moral society, one with a more optimistic
view of the human spirit, and has been ahead of the curve on human
rights before, and with ideas still fresh and new to western law. Deftly
written and composed by the lead Rabbi of South Africa, "Defending
the Human Spirit: Jewish Law's Vision for a Moral Society" is
highly recommended for community library Judaic studies collections and
with a crossover to law shelves.
