Schulweis writes very clearly and uses quotations thoughtfully -- even a group with people of different ages and from very different walks of life would be able to read it together easily.Schulweis argues emphatically against a literal reading of Scripture. Specifically, he shows how Judaism has a rich tradition of reading the Bible that is willing to challenge even the words on the page in the name of the values that God stands for. Even explicit laws can be retired in the name of deeper principles.The challenge for faithful people, he argues, is to seek to live under the direction of those deeper principles, and to build a world that is based upon them.It is a good book, but not a great one. Simply, it is too short, and it leaves the reader wanting more...actually, a little too much more.Nevertheless, fans of Schulweis' work, especially the magnificent "For Those Who Can't Believe," will be glad to have another useful, thought provoking volume to add to their libraries. ### ⭐⭐⭐ It Depoends What You Want *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2012* This is a serious discussion on Jewish attitudes toward obeying and disobeying Torah commandments. It covers the bases very thoroughly and without any particular bias. It's eclectic and well documented. Best of all, it's clear and concise. However, it doesn't offer any fresh point of view or much in the way of modern viewpoints. If your looking for a survey of attitudes, this does the job. If you are looking for guidelines for spiritual actions, this is the wrong book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Conscience: How Jewish Law, traditional Jewish sources and conscience interact *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2011* If you just wish to know simple straightforward halakha (Jewish law) then don't bother with this book. If you wish to see ways that conscience can play a role then read this book. It draws from traditional Jewish sources as well as others. It is a bit too short and I wished the early sections were more fleshed out. Still, definitely worth reading if this subject interests you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17027243-conscience-the-duty-to-obey-and-the-duty-to-disobey](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17027243-conscience-the-duty-to-obey-and-the-duty-to-disobey) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
