Jewish-Christian marriages and conversions, 1971 and 1990.
Data from the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey permit a detailed study of American Jewish marriages. Contrasting these data with equivalent findings from the earlier 1971 survey on the same population shows that most of the conclusions about intermarriage reached in the earlier survey are uph...

Contrasting these data with equivalent findings from the earlier 1971 survey on the same population shows that most of the conclusions about intermarriage reached in the earlier survey are upheld by the 1990 data despite the Jewish intermarriage rate having just about quadrupled from 1970 to 1990. Converts to Judaism are disproportionately involved with the Reform denomination and, as a group, are as religious as Jewish-born Reform adherents. However, such converts do lack the ethnic traits that Jewish-born Reform adherents display. It would be best to broaden sociology of religion research so as to focus separately upon families formed by marriages within the same denomination, families formed by marriages across denominational lines, and families formed by marriages across basic faith boundaries.
