About a special logic peculiar to the soul

Our Immoral Soul: A Manifesto Of Spiritual Disobedience by Rabbi Nilton Bonder (leader of one of Brazil's largest Jewish congregations) is a fascinating and informative treatise about a special logic peculiar to the soul and the balance between the "immoral soul" and the "moral animal" of psychology and evolution. Rabbi Bonder received his training at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City, and in Our Immoral Soul he adroitly tackles a range of relevant issues such as the many types of self and spiritual betrayal, to the essence of the self with insight, wisdom, and devoted learning. A compelling and persuasive treatise, Our Immoral Soul is a strongly recommended addition to Judaic Studies supplemental reading lists and reference collections.
