As a Driven Leaf by Milton Steinberg, Chaim Potok

4.0

I finally finished this one! Another you can't read a few pages at a time...really enjoyed the descriptions of life in the Middle East about 100 years after Christ's death--the Romans, Greeks, Jews and others had so much cultural conflict, and then there was conflict within Judaism--made evident in the portrayal of Elisha. Poor conflicted Elisha never had a chance to read "When Bad Things happen to Good People." His internal conflicts mirror the conflicts taking place around him. Language is a bit stilted at times but a good interfaith read.
