The rabbi's book is A1, top quality material from beginning to end, except for the title.

But doesn't he realize that his title obviates a great deal of the sympathetic response for which he hopes? 80% of the population espouse the Christian faith, by which Jesus "sat down at the right hand of God". But Lerner tells us that it belongs to the followers of Satan, not the people of light; they are assigned the left hand, traditionally ascribed to Satan.

Did his Jewishness make it impossible to use this metaphor, so dear to millions of Christians? Assigning Chist and his followers to the left hand of God confuses the multitude, and gives an enormous propaganda advantage to the hard right.

Rabbi Lerner "get's it." He completely understands why ordinary good people voted for Bush - because the Democrats fail to give the heartbeat of America a spititual choice. If the Democratic Party want to decisively win they must read this book to understand how to reach the average American.
