Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Two dear friends, forty-two years after their graduation from Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, one a rabbi, the other a teacher of English, engage in dialogue on modern subjects from Jewish and Catholic perspectives. Along the way they reveal their personal histories and journeys of faith as they discuss the timeless topics of Faith, Tragedy, Spirituality, Sex, Marriage, Tradition, Disappointment, Anger, Temptation, Forgiveness, Care for the Elderly, the Afterlife, and Life Flexibility. Embedded within these reflections is a friendship that has endured and grown throughout their lifetimes. Sharing mutual family joys and sorrows, watching children mature and take their place in the world, and even rooting unabashedly for their hometown professional football team, the Buffalo Bills, have informed their conversations since they first met as freshmen some four and one-half decades ago. This is a book that teaches about the similarities and differences between Judaism and Catholicism. Yet it is less an academic study than a warm and candid conversation that reveals an acquired wisdom and a commitment shared by both friends and authors to their respective religious worlds, but even more so, to the human condition.
