Love and the End of Reasoning

The author recounts the unsettling faith journey of her conversion to Judaism after she had become an established, professional Christian theologian. Struggling to discern the call of God, she intellectually probes a series of questions about Christianity that disturb her, including her understanding of Jesus. At the end of reasoning she discovers that converting is not a matter of intellect but of heart. It is not dissatisfaction with or criticism of Christianity that propels her toward Judaism, but love—of both traditions. The question is not, Which is better, Christianity or Judaism? But, which community's revelatory lens does one share?
