A reform Jew; his Christian wife; an inexplicable illness that has
struck at one of their children: thus begins the events that result
in a search by Michael Klein for his true religious identity.
Michael is a reform Jew whose knowledge of Judaism begins and ends
with the fact that he is Jewish by birth. There are two children
born to him and his wife, Susan. Following an agreement that they
made when they married, their children were to be given the choice
of whether to follow the Jewish religion, or the Christian, or even
a combination of both.In the course of the marriage, Michael is
gradually introduced to the religion of his wife. For the first
time, he is introduced to religious ideas which go beyond the basic
notion of morality which was stressed by his parents, but he still
finds himself unsure of the direction he should take. Without an
understanding of the Judaism of his ancestors he fears making a
commitment to his wife's beliefs.When his son falls ill, he embarks
on a road of discovery through a series of chance meetings which
allows him to put both faiths to the test in order for him to make
the fateful decision as to which one he will choose.A comparison of
the two faiths is given through the review of Biblical passages;
through the examination of scientific theory vs. religious beliefs;
and through an exploration of history. It's a journey that will
enlighten the reader with a different perspective of both
Christianity and Judaism, and will change his understanding of
religion in general.
