Christ Alive

Christian Living

“John brings to bear on this series of weekly meditations the broad range of his experience and acumen. As a criminal law lecturer and preacher, he can draw out a wide range of insights and tell a story where we see the overlap of biography and parable. His motivation is not to amuse but to bring to bear on the darker areas of life the light of God. I thoroughly recommend this book.”

World Religions

“Dualisms of body and mind/soul, and implied contrasts between real/ideal and insider/outsider pervade Abrahamic traditions, producing in Lithuanian Jewish ultra-Orthodox thought distinctive ethical dilemmas and ritual resolutions. Yakir Englander explores these philosophical and practical strategies with scholarly mastery, historical situatedness, and passionate lucidity.”
