Aaron's Prayer is a work of religious fiction. Imagine you are an Israelite in the time of Moses. From Moses you hear the familiar faith-based word of God, but you also hear from his brother Aaron a logic-based word of God, which contradicts Moses, on most points, and which is itself free of contradictions. How do you decide whom to believe?Moses is widely admired while Aaron is mostly ignored and sometimes vilified.
Thus, following Moses seems like the safer - if less logical - choice. But is it? Let's listen to Aaron's prayer and God's answer... Companion volumes: The Sin of Righteous Anger, Well-pleased, Be Thou Perfect, Namian Christianity, Correcting the Bible, Even Christ failed to be Christian.
