How Jewish Is Christianity?: 2 Views on the Messianic Movement

How Jewish Is Christianity?: 2 Views on the Messianic Movement (Counterpoints: Bible and Theology)

Diverse perspectives about the messianic movement â€• from six contributors. Are Messianic congregations necessary or should Jewish believers be incorporated into the Gentile church? This is the topic of the latest volume in the Counterpoints series. The question of how Christian Jews relate their Jewish practices and customs to the church has been an issue within Christianity since the first century. Contemporary contributors who have lived and wrestled with this issue present informed arguments and counter-arguments. The book concludes with a chapter on the future for Messianic Jews and a directory of messianic movement organizations. Contributors include: â€¢ John Fischer (ThD, California Graduate School of Theology, PhD, University of South Florida) is a rabbi of Congregation Ohr Chadash and Chairman of Judaic Studies at St. Petersburg Theological Seminary. â€¢ Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum (ThM, PhD, New York University) has served with the Chosen People Ministries and Christian Jew Foundation in the past and is now the founder and director of Ariel Ministries. â€¢ Gershon Nerel (PhD, Hebrew University, Jerusalem) has served as â€œIsrael Secretaryâ€ for the International Messianic Jewish Alliance and has also been a member of the executive committee for the Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel. â€¢ David Stern (PhD, MDiv) is the translator of the Jewish New Testament from Greek to English to express its Jewishness; his version of the Tanak is the Complete Jewish Bible. â€¢ Will Varner (EdD, Temple University) servers as professor of biblical studies at the Masterâ€™s College, CA, and the director of the Israel Bible Extension campus of this college in Israel.
