Summary:
"God is real. Everything we say about God is made up. A rousing call to anyone ready to go beyond "isms" and ideologies, and live in the world as a liberating force of justice, compassion, and joy. "Holy rascals are spiritual culture jammers who use humor, play, creativity, and critical thinking to reveal the human origins of religions, and how religions mask their true origins behind the conceit of divine origins," writes Rabbi Rami. Here, he illuminates: The making of a holy rascal and the great task of "freeing religion from the parochial and for the perennial." The art of "hacking the holy," or pulling back the curtain on religion's fear-based mechanisms of control. The provocative tools and one-of-a-kind practices of the holy rascal, with guidance for creating your very own "rascally" ways. Rabbi Rami Shapiro received rabbinical ordination from the Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion, and holds a Ph.D. in religion from Union Graduate School. A congregational rabbi for 20 years, Rabbi Rami is currently Adjunct Professor of Religious Studies at Middle Tennessee State University. Visit his website at RabbiRami.com"--Provided by publisher.
