Here's the story: a reverend and a rabbi start a blog. In 2008,
Baptist minister Michael Smith and Jewish rabbi Rami M. Shapiro
began a virtual conversation via blogspot.com. Called "Mount and
Mountain," the blog recorded a long-running dialogue between Mike
and Rami in which the pair interpreted, argued about, and
interrogated two key texts drawn from the canons of their
respective religions: the Ten Commandments from the Torah, and the
Sermon on the Mount from the Gospel of St. Matthew. This book,
focused on the Sermon on the Mount, represents the second half of
Mike and Rami's dialogue. In it, Mike and Rami explore the text of
Jesus' sermon cooperatively, contributing perspectives drawn from
their lives and religious traditions and seeking moments of
illumination. They are, like all of us, audience members,
contemplating the words of Jesus together in the hope that we can
discern Truth not only through revelation but also through
conversation. As readers, we are a part of their conversation. We
think and respond, we question and wonder, we entertain doubt and
affirm faith. Reading their discussion, we are encouraged to begin
our own.
