| Introduction | I am Professor of Jewish Education and Psychology at Hebrew College of Boston (Newton Center, MA). I am interested in the psychology of religion, comparative religious ethics, and classical Jewish thought and texts, especially Bible, Rabbinics, and Sifrut HaMusar (ethical/devotional literature). I am the author of "The Tenacity of Unreasonable Beliefs: Fundamentalism and the Fear of Truth" (Oxford University Press, 2008); "Wounds Not Healed by Time: The Power of Repentance and Forgiveness" (OUP, 2002); and "The Seven Deadly Sins: Jewish, Christian, and Classical Reflections on Human Psychology" (OUP, 1997). |
