From Publishers Weekly New York Times reporter Goldman's offbeat, soul-baring, spiritually challenging odyssey describes his year at Harvard Divinity School, in 1985. Sent by his newspaper to immerse himself in the world's religions, this Orthodox Jew felt irresistibly drawn to the rite of Catholic communion; he experienced Buddhist meditation, found close parallels between Judaism and Islam, and gauged the disarray in mainstream Protestantism. Studying sacrificial rites of the Nuer, a Sudanese tribe, helped him better understand Jewish tradition. Besides crystallizing his own beliefs, his encounters at Harvard triggered a personal catharsis as he sorted out the early trauma of his parents' divorce, a repressive yeshiva environment, his sexual liberation in the 1970s and his rise from copyboy to Times religion reporter. His painstakingly candid account is an enriching read. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Here's something you don't see every day: an Orthodox Jewish reporter attending Harvard Divinity School. That's what Goldman did in 1985, as much for his own edification as for professional purposes. Goldman, religion writer for the New York Times , here chronicles his year at Harvard, where he tested the waters of his own faith while immersing himself in the study of the major religious traditions. He comes away with a disdain for the Divinity School (more reputation than reality) and a profound sense of the richness and depth of his own religious convictions. For Goldman, Judaism is strengthened as it is challenged; this insight is finally the message of this thoughtful, well-written pilgrimage. Highly recommended for all searching souls and lovers of spiritual autobiographies as well as those concerned with contemporary religious education.- Sandra Collins, Trinity Sch . for Ministry, Ambridge, Pa.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

《紐約時報》記者80年代深入哈佛神學院!各種有趣的故事和思考。作者雖然對各類宗教瞭解比較淺,但非常reflective,有些學界料都挺勁爆的。對自己的成長環境和紐約也剖析的很不錯。後麵沒來得及細讀,略過一些章節。最喜歡每章開頭的引言,如:“Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha told Meir the Scribe: Be careful in your work, which is a divine art, for by omitting or adding a letter, you may casue the world’s ruin.”
