Title: not what is advertised
Review: It's not that I didn't enjoy this to some degree, but the more I got into the less I enjoyed it. It is not as advertised. Goldman skims the surface of other religions and I really got the impression that he doesn't think too much of them. What this is is a story of how an Orthodox Jew came to terms with having a job that sometimes forced him to work on the Sabbath. If anything, his stint at the Harvard Div School in 1985 reinforced his own religion, and that is about it. Good for him, but it does not make for an elightened experience at all. With true ecumencial joining he would have given a little of himself to each religion that he covered, not simply "reported" on them, along with his feelings about individuals representative of each.
Is the review positive or negative?
