Author: Boteach, Shmuley
Title: Wrestling with the Divine.A Jewish Response to Suffering.
Description: Northvale, New Jersey / London, Jason Aronson, 1995. XXX, 353 pp. Name on halftitle. Else fine.Or. cloth with dustjacket. Judaism sees death, illness, and suffering as aberrations in creation that were brought about through the sin of Adam in Eden. In Wrestling with the Divine, Boteach claims that man's mission was never to make peace with suffering and death, but to abolish them from the face of the earth by joining God as a junior partner in creation. By using such physical tools as studying medicine, giving charity, and being there in times of need and by using such spiritual means as protesting to God against injustice and demanding that He correct the flaws of the world, we help usher in an era when only goodness will prevail over the earth.
