The purpose of this blog is to give you an opportunity to comment upon and discuss themes from my book "The Tenacity of Unreasonable Beliefs: Fundamentalism and the Fear of Truth" (Oxford University Press, 2008). I will also be posting additional material on religious fundamentalism and related issues.
I am Professor of Jewish Education and Psychology at Hebrew College of Boston (Newton Center, MA).
I am interested in the psychology of religion, comparative religious ethics, and classical Jewish thought and texts, especially Bible, Rabbinics, and Sifrut HaMusar (ethical/devotional literature).
I am the author of "The Tenacity of Unreasonable Beliefs: Fundamentalism and the Fear of Truth" (Oxford University Press, 2008); "Wounds Not Healed by Time: The Power of Repentance and Forgiveness" (OUP, 2002); and "The Seven Deadly Sins: Jewish, Christian, and Classical Reflections on Human Psychology" (OUP, 1997).
