About this ebook

In Keeping the Faith in Interfaith Relationships, Stuart Dauermann calls for a reconsideration of the long held assumption that a Jew who believes in Jesus exits from Jewish life. Dauermann represents Jesus, not as an exit, but as an entrance into more serious engagement with Jewish life. The implications of this perspective for interfaith couples, both Christians and Jews, are profound.

    This particular night I was waiting for Cindy, a beautiful Chris-tian woman, and Jake, her Jewish boyfriend. Both came from large and loving families: hers, Los Angeles evangelicals and his, Reform Jews from Las Vegas.

    The families loved Jake and Cindy, but Jesus, or Yeshua as we call him, had become an obstacle between Cindy and Jake, and a big issue for their families. Cindy felt she couldn’t entertain the possibility of marriage unless Jake and she were of one mind on Yeshua, and Jake knew he couldn’t and wouldn’t make room in their marriage for Yeshua if it meant betraying his Jewishness and his family.
