Doubt, Wisdom, and Communion: Reflections of an Atheist Jew By Choice
by Joel Newton
Available in July on Amazon and Lulu.com.
For something to be sacred, it is not necessary that it be divine. This is one of the central themes of Doubt, Wisdom, and Communion, a collection of essays by a former Charismatic Christian who first became a freethinking atheist before converting to Judaism several decades later.
In this book, Joel Newton considers not only how a person might reconcile their atheism with being a Reform Jew by choice but also how they might thrive as a practicing Reform Jew. He shares insights he has gained from experiencing and analyzing the inner conflict that can arise when one embraces a religion but dismisses the religion's God.
