Finding The God of Noah
The Spiritual Journey of a Baptist Minister From Christianity to the Laws of Noah by J. David Davis
Publisher: Ktav, 1996
In 1991 the Wall Street Journal reported that "right smack in the middle of the Bible belt, a group of Christian fundamentalists eager to explore the roots of their faith turned for spiritual guidance to Judaism." The headline declared: "Tennessee Baptists Turn to Judaism For New Inspiration," inspiration that led to the removal of the steeple from the Emmanuel Baptist Church -- the congregation had decided it was a pagan fertility symbol that had no business being on a house of worship. In Finding the G-d of Noah, a memoir of his religious life, Mr. Davis tells of the doubts and perplexities which first led to a deepening of his commitment to Southern Baptist theology, his successful career as a Baptist minister, and his progressive estrangement from it and from Christianity. It is also the story of a congregation which shared in Davis' religious quest.(224 Pages)
"Intriguing... Davis helps us appreciate much of traditional Judaism and pursues his intellectual and communal work in the fascinating lacunae between the Christian and Jewish communities."- Kirkus Reviews
