Religious Tolerance

Bullheaded Black Remembers Alexander is a great new book by J. L. Taylor illustrating religious thought during the time of Alexander the Great.  The author does a brilliant job of tying in religious tolerance questions of the time with current issues today.

Pagan Judaism

I have just finished reading a book about pagan Judaism (sometimes called Jewitchery) called Magickal Judaism by Jennifer Hunter.  This is a thorough overview of the history of Judaism with connection to its pagan roots. While I was sometimes confused by the intricacies of Jewish belief, this is simply as a result of my own ignorance and not a reflection on the quality of the book. I enjoyed the inclusion of Jewish-Pagan rituals and prayers, as well as the diverse opinions the author included. I recommend this book to anyone with basic knowledge of Judaism or Paganism who is curious about various Jewish-Pagan practices.
