An odd allegory.

I am not sure how to review this. I bought the book a few years ago and never got around to reading it until now. I had the opportunity to hear Kay Arthur speak about 10 years ago, and I have loved her Bible studies and teachings, but this book fell somewhat short of my expectations. As reading, Israel, My Beloved was a great read. I learned much about the Jewish people in the Diaspora, however I thought the theology fell short. Also, I wasnt' sure I liked the allegory of God having a wife, even if she was to represent the nation of Israel. For history, I would give the book a thumbs up, for theology, look elsewhere.
