5.0 out of 5 stars
This is great stuff and really makes a lot of sense.,
By Edward J. Klein (edley2000_99@yahoo.com) (Peoria, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let There Be Light: Poems (Paperback)
Bible literalists will hate this book, but how can anyone with a modicum of common sense really believe the story of Jonah and the Whale, Noah and the Ark, Adam and Eve, and other Bible stories that make no sense whatever when they are subject to rational analysis. They simply have to be treated as allegories, an inference that Appleman makes plain in his treatment of these accounts in the Jewish Bible. And he does it with great humor and perceptiveness. I hope he comes up with another book of poems based on the Bible and other religous themes, and shows how utterly ridiculous some of them are. Christians who are allowed to think for themselves, I am sure, will find Appleman's perceptions eminently reasonable and acceptable.
