The real question is... should I read Martin Buber or a book on which I have to write a paper...Hmmm.... (The book for the paper actually looks promising. The book does a character analysis of God in the book Genesis - an analysis in which the reader analyzes God in the same way a reader would analyze any other character in a literary work. Literary criticism is really grabbin' me!)

"God: a Biography" does the same thing. I can't think of the author (Jack something?), but he is an ex-Jesuit and he applies the model to the entire Hebrew Bible. Starting at day one and seing what we learn of this character called "God."

Egad! As a former English major who ruled out graduate study due to the dominance of modern critical theory in the field, I advise caution. You might find this article interesting:
