Book excerpt: Confessions of a Jewish Priest comprises the reminiscences of Weinreich, a secular Jew who was born in Poland and moved to the U.S. as a young adolescent during World War II, thus narrowly escaping the Holocaust. The book follows Weinreich as he becomes an American, twice-husband, father, and an award-winning scientist, and shows how his subsequent journey toward Christianity and ordination to the Episcopal priesthood do nothing to impair his sense of Jewishness. In addition to telling a compelling life story, the book discusses Christianity as perceived by a Jew who began as a complete atheist but realizes toward the end of his life that he never really was one.
