Paul Toscano

Don't be fooled by his benign (dazed?) appearance. Paul Toscano is no saint. He's a contrarian, political maverick, dissenting theologian, social critic, excommunicant, and a septuagenarian with attitude--besides being funny and a bit absent-minded..

His clear, concise, and cogent takes on God, humanity and the universe appear in a wide array of quotable social media quips, a clutch of hair-raising religious commentaries, a slew of trenchant essays, and a brace of novels whose winning characters range from the grim to the glorious.

He draws knowledge and inspiration from his wife (a tenured university professor), his daughters, his side-kick grandchild, a small circle of friends, and 40 years of experience as a bankruptcy lawyer and litigator.
