Beyond Faith

Aaron Minsky is not the typical author one would expect for a book such as this. He is a composing cellist published by Oxford University Press. Known as rock cello innovator Von Cello, he has released CDs, and performed worldwide. Along with music, Minsky's passion is the study of religion, especially Judaism. "I believe all religions must be investigated and compared by the standards of logic and reason. Today survival and destruction are closely balanced. Since religion plays such an important role in conflicts around the world, a rational investigation of the world's faiths seems essential if we are to peacefully settle these multi-generational struggles." - Aaron Minsky "This is an important book which should see the light of day." - Rabbi Pinchas Stolper, Orthodox Union "I feel this work will be of great value to the thinking Jew." - Rabbi Yitzhak Rosenbaum, National Jewish Outreach Program "There is little doubt in my mind that this encyclopedic work will be an indispensable resource." - Rabbi Tovia Singer, Outreach Judaism, Israel National Radio "This book would also be beneficial to non-Jews who wish to know what Judaism thinks of them and their role in creation." - Rabbi Yisroel Fried, Chabad Lubavitch
