My Jesus Year: A Rabbi's Son Wanders the Bible Belt in Search of His Own Faith, with Benyamin Cohen

About this Episode

My guest is Benyamin Cohen. His book My Jesus Year: A Rabbi's Son Wanders the Bible Belt in Search of His Own Faith is part memoir, part spiritual quest, part anthropologist’s mission. It's a humorous, personal, ultimately inspirational exploration of Christianity by the son of an Orthodox Rabbi on his journey through America's Bible belt.

Benyamin Cohen is Editorial Director of From the Grapevine. He has written for The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, The Huffington Post, Yahoo News and Slate. His new podcast, Our Friend From Israel, recently launched its debut episode.
