«How Good Do We Have to Be?» is Harold S. Kushner's essay on religion and philosophy, published by Back Bay Books in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Harold S. Kushner asks how much goodness God demands to keep loving us and whether we need to be perfect. Guilt and shame, he argues, erode confidence and courage; he rereads Adam and Eve as a step toward human maturity, not a fall. Accepting imperfections and forgiving transforms relationships and helps us take on the challenge of being human.
The subtitle of the work is «A New Understanding of Guilt and Forgiveness»; the original work was published in 1996 and this edition is from 1997.
For those interested in Jewish spirituality, psychology, and personal growth, seeking a reflection on guilt and forgiveness.
Harold Samuel Kushner was an American rabbi, author, and lecturer. He was a member of the Rabbinical Assembly of Conservative Judaism and served as the congregational rabbi of Temple Israel of Natick, in Natick, Massachusetts, for 24 years.
