Postmissionary Messianic Judaism: Redefining Christian Engagement with the Jewish People

"Groundbreaking and significant.... There is much of value in the book, and it should be required reading for all who have an interest in Jewish evangelism and Jewish believers in Jesus.... [Kinzer] has done the Messianic and missionary movements, and those concerned with Jesus and his people, a service."--Richard Harvey, Mishkan
In recent years, a new form of Messianic Judaism has emerged that has the potential to serve as a bridge between Jews and Christians. Giving voice to this movement, Mark Kinzer makes a case for nonsupersessionist Christianity. He argues that the election of Israel is irrevocable, that Messianic Jews should honor the covenantal obligations of Israel, and that rabbinic Judaism should be viewed as a movement employed by God to preserve the distinctive calling of the Jewish people.
Though this book will be of interest to Jewish readers, it is written primarily for Christians who recognize the need for a constructive relationship to the Jewish people that neither denies the role of Jesus the Messiah nor diminishes the importance of God's covenant with the Jews.
