I hope you can further expand on this topic in future blogs - with a book focus of course. I will say that, in my view, two paths are emerging: One can be seen by reading Prof. Samuel Heilman's 2006 book, "Sliding to the Right" - about the expanding conservative Jew Orthodoxy, and the other by casually reading publications like 'Heeb' - secular-eque hipster Jewish. Careful reading of Auslander's biting and well-crafted writing fits both camps in a way. As for me, I am currently reading Prof. Amy-Jill Levine's 2006 book, "The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus". Good blog.
