A paperback copy of this excellent book was sent to me by a friend. As I prefer hardback books for my library, I had read but a few chapters before ordering a hardback for my collection. Both Jews and Christians will benefit from Harvey Cox's journey whether in a "mixed" marriage or not. I treasure this volume.

There are regular classes centered on books about spiritual topics at my Interfaith retirement community. We are spending 10 classes on Common Prayers of Harvey Cox.
A Protestant Christian (ordained in the Baptist tradition) Cox married a Jewish woman during his midlife. The book follows the annual Jewish calendar; Cox describes how these observances help deepen his own faith; he reminds us that Jesus was born an Jew, lived as a Jew, and died a Jew. Throughout the book, Cox refers to "the rabbi Jesus." One member of the class observed, "If Christians had taken those facts to heart during the past 2000 years, how different would the Jew ish story have been."
