Summary: "Globalization, migration, and cultural and spiritual exchanges are occurring everyday in the homes of Christians who marry Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. As these American families negotiate differences and build bridges among their extended families and communities, they are re-imagining foundational understandings of belief, practice, and community. This book explores historical foundations and contemporary dynamics of religious intermarriage in the U.S. as a lens to the transformation of religion in America. In the lives of these families, categories like Christian, non-Christian, religious or non-religious no longer apply. These false dichotomies miss important aspects of lived religious pluralism on the ground"-- Provided by publisher
