The Sense of Identity in Jewish-Christian Families
Qualitative sociology, v 14(1), pp 77-102
1991
Abstract
Difficulties & satisfactions experienced by 10 Jewish-Christian families are analyzed to explore how a sense of personal identity is transmitted intergenerationally in a 2-religion family in the US today. Ss of this participant observation study were middle-aged couples living in a middle-class eastern suburb who were born & raised in North America, but not within intensely Jewish or Christian cultures. The Ss formed a families study group in 1981 that met monthly for about 3 years. Meetings involved exploring the circumstances & religious situations of individual families, obtaining perspectives on interfaith marriages from religious leaders, & exchanging information with couples in the neighborhood outside the group who had resolved interfaith marriages in different ways. 12 References.
