However, these magical realist stories of the Hassidic rabbis are encoded with deeper levels of meaning similar to Buddhist, Sufi, Celtic, and other spiritual traditions. Lovingly recounted by master story-teller Meyer Levin, this glimpse of a now long-gone world is a wonderful anthology which can be enjo... View more info

Minor sticker adhesive on rear wrapper. 2015 Trade Paperback. ix, 117 pp. This book is about hope—hope for the human condition. It is a hope rooted in the wisdom of four great spiritual traditions, Jewish, Christian, Sufi, and Lakota. Despite their different religious and doctrinal backgrounds, on a spiritual level these four traditions demonstate an amazing agreement on human values. And they witness to common human longing for love, compassion, and justice rooted in a mysterious, yet benevolent, transcendent force—God, Yahweh, Allah, or Great Mystery. The author suggests that though thei... View more info

First printing. Spine creased. 1996 Trade Paperback. xxiii, 214 pp. From the religious historian whose The Gnostic Gospels won both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award comes a dramatic interpretation of Satan and his role on the Christian tradition. With magisterial learning and the elan of a born storyteller, Pagels turns Satan's story into an audacious exploration of Christianity's shadow side, in which the gospel of love gives way to irrational hatreds that continue to haunt Christians and non-Christians alike.

Boards lightly bowed. Jacket bumped. 1989 Large Hardcover. 223 pp. A glossy, predictable paean to American Jewry by the producers of the Day in the Life series, this oversize collection of photographs traverses the country, capturing cowboys and Soviet Jewry activists, magicians and roving rabbis. The belabored point here is that Jews have special customs--circumcision, bar mitzvah, Passover seder--that set them apart, but Jews are also as American as apple pie. Hence, many of the 197 pictures, most of them color, reiterate that Jews are just regular folk: there are cozy multigenerational shot... View more info
