The Reluctant Parting by Julie Galambush
While other books have demonstrated the "Jewishness" of Jesus, none have grappled with the implications of the New Testament authors's relationship to their own Judaism. The Reluctant Parting is a poignant look at the New Testament, exploring the forgotten question of intention and identity in Christianity's core writings -- how did Jesus's followers stop being Jewish without meaning to?
Author Julie Galambush tells a compelling story that reveals the anguish of the early Christians as they first struggled with, and then left behind, the larger Jewish community. She illuminates the drama of the split between Jews and Christians, revealing a deep sense of loss at the heart of the Christian tradition. As both a convert to Judaism and a former associate pastor, Galambush is uniquely qualified to address the world of The Reluctant Parting. The book's deeply empathic portrayal of the early Christians's struggle with their Jewish identity will allow it to serve as a resource for Jews and Christians alike.Julie Galambush is Associate Professor of Religion at the College of William and Mary, and holds a Ph.D. in Old Testament Studies from Emory University and a M.Div. from Yale Divinity School. "At an important time for Jewish-Christian relationships, Julie Galambush's thoughtful book will become an important resource for our continuing conversations."- Rev. John Buchanan, Pastor, Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago
