Why launch a new podcast, Toward a More Jewish Jesus? I could write volumes on this subject, and in fact am just finishing final edits on a scholarly work addressing this subject. But that's for another blog post. Getting back to our question, "Why Toward a More Jewish Jesus?" A brief overview of just some of the reasons. […]

Let's deal with the first of our questions today: What is this? Toward a More Jewish Jesus will be an Audio-Visual weekly Podcast featuring Dr. Dauermann, an animated and opinionated co-host (you will have to wait for this one!), and occasional guests. We are in the final stages of production preparation, and will soon know […]
Answers to each of these questions will follow, one at a time, starting tomorrow. Let's just ask this for now: What would it be like if all of us moved Toward A More Jewish Jesus?

Yesterday I traveled an hour away from home to visit two sharp and accomplished African American friends, and to attend their weekly worship/teaching event. They have dedicated themelves to helping Christians understand how their faith is built on the foundation of the Jewish people relationship with God and the way of life that God gave to the […]
I have spent my entire life living at the intersection of the Christian and Jewish worlds. My Mom was an Orthodox Jewish convert, my father an Orthodox, later, Conservative Jew. But the day we buried him 50 years later, she said to me "I never felt accepted by his family." I did some investigating and […]
As we said in a recent posting, we are currently evaluating launching discussion gatherings in the Los Angeles area for people interested in how to productively navigate the boundary and space between the Christian and Jewish worlds. This is especially crucial for the intermarried. Did you know that seven out of ten Jewish marriages today […]
"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." Truer words were never spoken. So what do you stand for?
