    Abusive God

    Blumenthal is a rabbi in dialogue with an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse and a holocaust survivor. He maintains that while God is often loving and kind, fair and merciful, God is also capable of acts so unjust they can only be described as abusive. Basing his argument on the experiences of both Holocaust and child abuse survivors, Blumenthal grapples with how to face a God who works "wondrously through us" and who has worked "aw(e)fully against us."
