Publisher's Description
As societies across the globe rethink and often discard the institutions of marriage and religion, interfaith marriages continue to grow in number. These unions, usually committed to seeing past the traditional sectarian labels, often struggle when the traditional sources of support for marital life--faith community, family support--are not available. Still, the determination of interfaith couples to negotiate and cross boundaries gives hope to a fractured world. Bonni-Belle Pickard draws from her personal and professional experience to suggest ways of addressing the challenges of interfaith couples and their families.

“Interfaith Marriage is a timely, discerning, sensitive, and practical book. In our global context, Pickard invites her readers to explore the potential for differing faith commitments to enrich rather than complicate the journey toward intimate marital harmony. Pickard interweaves personal anecdotes, informative ethnography, careful research, and the wisdom of specialists to put theologies of marriage in different religions in the service of peaceable and joyous interfaith companionship.”
“Pickard has provided a valuable resource not simply for interfaith marriage but for all those involved in intercultural exchanges of many kinds. She and her contributors write from personal, practical experience but also with solid academic understanding of these complex issues.”
