Sam Richardson has a good point. Here is some info on Rami Shapiro: "Shapiro moved to Miami, Florida, and created Temple Beth Or, a synagogue and think tank where he experimented with new forms of Jewish liturgy and practice, combining his experiences with Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism.[6] He continued his Zen practice with the aid of Gesshin Roshi's International Zen Institute of Miami". I have nothing against a "think tank", but if Shapiro is practicing Zen then I question the validity of his writings.

I'm not quite sure why the decision-makers at Logos decided to offer up a series that is largely by Rami Shapiro. While I have nothing against him personally, as a Jewish academic who actually believes in God (and the covenants, miracles, etc.) I am curious as to why a package of similar subjects written by Jewish authors who come to the table with at least a basic theology of monotheism would not have been offered instead of these volumes. Was it the price? I would be happy to provide some suggestions for alternative authors.
