Now in Print: Why Is There a Menorah on the Altar? Jewish Roots of Christian Worship

In print at last! In print at last!
Thank God Almighty,
my new book is in print at last!



For a while, I thought I'd have a much better chance of seeing Jesus come again in glory, but a carton filled with printed copies of Why Is There a Menorah on the Altar? was at long last delivered by UPS earlier this week.

Of course, the snafus continue, latest one being Amazon.com's persistent belief that "this title has not yet been released." I've asked the publisher to look into it, as well as authorize (note ironic word use) the "Look in the Book" function. We'll see how long that takes, meanwhile I hope you will:
  • order my book by clicking through to amazon.com from the Shelfari widget on this blog.
  • post a favorable review directly on the amazon.com page for this book.
  • encourage adult faith formation folks in your church to use my book as foundation for discussions about Judaism's enduring legacy. I wrote this book for Christians who worship at "high liturgy" churches.
  • contact me directly (as someone already has) with your personal concerns about the ecumenical turn my work and life seem to be taking.
And now, I think I'll go sit on my front stoop to wait for Jesus and Elijah.
