In Not in the Heavens, Biale takes us on a journey from Maimonides to Spinoza to more modern day Jewish thinkers. First there are arguments over the meaning of god (a big white guy in the sky? Nature? Everything? Nothing?) and whether the bible is the word of god, a historical document, or just a book with some good (and bad) life lessons. From there, we move on to debates about how to revive Jewish culture—mainly whether or not Jews should revive Hebrew or spread Yiddish and, of course, how to look at ourselves. There’s some talk about Palestine and other fun stuff too.
