This chapter develops a traditional riddle concerning the relationship between the “Heavenly Torah” and the “Earthly Torah.” First it is established that the Jewish tradition is heavily committed to the existence of a Heavenly Torah, and that contemporary philosophy of literature provides us with no reason to demur. How are the Heavenly and Earthly Torah related? This chapter sketches all the possibilities, and shows how each answer comes at a cost. This is the internal problem with the revelation.

The psalmists sometimes wrote about the ‘enemies’ and the ‘evil-doers’ who sought their destruction. However, a close reading of these verses suggests that at least in some instances the psalmist is describing his own paranoid ideation or possibly even paranoid delusions rather than real enemies. Thus, in Psalm 31 there is a description of paranoia, threats conspiracy, fears of being killed and auditory hallucinations.
