God vs. the Gavel challenges the pervasive assumption that all religious conduct deserves constitutional protection. While religious conduct provides many benefits to society, it is not always benign. The thesis of the book is that anyone who harms another person should be governed by the laws that govern everyone else - and truth be told, religion is capable of great harm. This may not sound like a radical proposition, but it has been under assault since the 1960s. The majority of academics and many religious organizations would construct a fortress around religious conduct that would make it extremely difficult to prosecute child abuse by clergy, medical neglect of children by faith-healers, and other socially unacceptable behaviors. This book intends to change the course of the public debate over religion by bringing to the public's attention the tactics of religious entities to avoid the law and therefore harm others.

This book is the first of its kind from a lifetime of research which started out during the bombing raids by the Germans in 1941 (World War 2) in Plymouth, England, the second most heavily bombed city in England.Victor traces his remarkable journey over a period of more than 65 years. He offers an unsparing indictment of the American addiction to religion--from television to the Web. The American experiment with religion and right-winged wacko fundamentalism is an insult to the American intellectual who is a freethinker endowed with scientific intellectualism, freethought and enlightenment.The toxic dependency on American anti-intellectualism and anti-rationalism is proof religion has addled the minds of most Americans. This book offers ample proof that the god you think exists, doesn't exist at all. Two thousand years of lies are finally blown away by this book which reveals the total absurdity and ridiculousness of such a diabolical, theological pursuit.

Judaism is often described as a religion that tolerates, even celebrates arguments with God. In Pious Irreverence, Dov Weiss has written the first scholarly study of the premodern roots of this distinctively Jewish theology of protest, examining its origins and development in the rabbinic age (70 CE-800 CE).

With Playing God, Andy Crouch opens the subject of power, elucidating its subtle activity in our relationships and institutions. He gives us much more than a warning against abuse, though. Turning the notion of "playing God" on its head, Crouch celebrates power as the gift by which we join in God's creative, redeeming work in the world.
