Love is more than a feeling.
A priest and a rabbi teaching together has been a very rich experience, because Christians get a little lazy when they talk only to themselves. Interpreters miss nuances and understandings when they try to interpret scripture in a vacuum. I've learned a great deal from my rabbi friend, and from Jewish participants in this course, about the Jesus that I thought I already knew. One of the most important things I learned was that we have been one-dimensional and unfair to the Sadducees and the Pharisees. Good church-going people who were accustomed to hear the round of gospel readings, we are more or less conditioned to give a hissing response when we hear about the Pharisees.
