Interfaith marriages are increasingly common; this book, a kind of personal counterpart to Naomi Schaefer Riley's 'Til Faith Do Us Part, candidly shows how seemingly superficial differences in religion can enlarge the inherent conflicts in marriage over issues of identity, community, and child rearing. Sweeney (editor in chief, Paraclete Press) and Woll, a rabbi, write with the rich experience both of their life together and their deep knowledge of their faith traditions.
VERDICT While the authors' professional involvement in religion marks them as a little different, the evidence is strong that many married couples, and the religious leaders who counsel them, should get a great deal out of this honest work.
