The Rational Doubt Blog is back — with one of the things it does best: featuring Clergy Project members.  In this case, a member reviews a book that another member wrote.  May you enjoy the book as much as you enjoy this excellent review of it.  /Linda LaScola, Editor ========================== By Alexis Record [&#8230;]]]></description>

If so, were the other cursed? How does God fit in to the whole thing? People [&#8230;]]]></description>
