Rabbi Harold S. Kushner quotes Rabbi Milton Steinberg !

In his book, When Bad Things Happen To Good People, page 13.

"As Rabbi Milton Steinberg has written, Consider the pattern of human affairs: how falsehood, having no legs, cannot stand; how ewvil tends to destroy itself; how every tyranny has eventually invoked its own doom.

Now set against this the staying power of truth and righteousness.

Could the contrast be so sharp unless something in the scheme of things discouraged evil and favored the good ?"

While Rabbi Kushner cites Rabbi Steinberg's book, Anatomy of Faith, I'm not having much luck so far in locating this quote, though I've a copy of the book itself !

On interlibrary loan from the old Pan American College Library of Edinburg Texas, where my mom graduated back in the 1960s...
