This title is available through Baker and Taylor, directly from the distributor Lambda (Tel: 718-972-5449 fax: 718-972-6307) or from booksellers. REASONABLE DOUBTS: A Religious Skeptic Learns a Thing or Two about God Reasonable Doubts is the memoir of a religious skeptic's endeavor to rediscover her source of faith from the ground up after being hit by a car. On the way, she encounters various religious philosophers and thinkers, such as Saadya, Maimonides, Henry Bergson, Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, Rudolph Otto, and Abraham Joshua Heschel, who provide her with clues to a spiritual resolution. Berman utilizes scenes from the book of Job as well as snapshots from her own life to explicate the various philosophical theories that make up the stops along her journey. Jewish literature regarding faith crises is sparse, leaving skeptics and sufferers alike secluded, precisely when they need to be embraced. Reasonable Doubts seeks to reassure those undergoing faith crises that they are not alone. Reasonable Doubts also provides philosophical suggestions toward solutions to some basic religious and spiritual quandaries. Ultimate conclusions to most of these issues, however, lie within the soul of the reader. About the Author: Cheryl Berman is a teacher and writer with an ability to communicate complex dilemmas of faith in relevant and pragmatic terms. After earning her Masters Degree in Medieval Jewish Philosophy from Bernard Revel Graduate School, Berman went on to teach Jewish Philosophy in various institutions of learning in New York and Israel. She now writes and teaches Jewish Philosophy in Israel, where she lives with her family.
