Applications of Judeochristianity

The approach to the Bible presented here, and the place of Jesus and his teachings in the context of Hebrew prophecy, lead not only to a new approach to faith but also to a comprehensive spiritual path, grounded in Jewish and Christian tradition. The fundamental idea behind this approach is that we find God through a commitment to non-self-interested love. My book Judeochristianity: The Meaning and Discovery of Faith applies this idea to a number of problems we inevitably meet in life.
