Jesus Judas and Mordy Ben Ruben: Three Jewish Boys in Jerusalem: A Novel Dick Gross Tablet Books In brief: " Dick Gross's Jesus, Judas and Mordy Ben Ruben: Three Good Jewish Boys in Jerusalem is a bit like meeting him. On the surface, the book is inordinately entertaining, profoundly shocking and full of energy and passion. Beneath the surface, however, there's more scholarship, wisdom and dense argument than the frivolous can deal with or the devout can cope with. Any world religion fundamentalist would do well to read Gross' novel as a warning against irrationality and a chance for a decent belly laugh.." |
