A VERY HELPFUL STUDY OF THE MODERN "MESSIANIC" MOVEMENT
Incomplete book
The faulty conclusion abrogates the value of the research
For Mixed Audiences Nevertheless, Rabbi Cohn-Sherbok should be commended for this book.It is bold, displays a high level of commitment to a level of objectivity.This is a touchy subject for all sides of the debate, and while it's not apparent which side of the debate the Rabbi is on, he is at least willing to look with fairness towards MJ, especially since it is often ignored/discredited without even cursory consideration of the shell game of an argument being used against them.If there is ever to be reasonable dialogue, then such attacks must cease and desist.Unfortunately, however, I don't think that any side is willing to put aside its agenda and reason together, but perhaps this book will at least change some of that.
Good information, but his conclusions are faulty |

Editorial Review Product Description The bulk of this work investigates the soteriology of Second Temple Judaism, especially of the Qumran Scrolls. The apocalyptic lesson was the demand of a greater covenantal obedience, held in tension with God’s grace, a demand met through sectarian revelation and involving a somewhat diverse messianism. Within these conceptions, Jesus affirms that salvation is indeed for the "righteous," but as defined through himself as the unique Messiah. This work is particularly useful regarding the Jesus—Paul debate, for it provides a diachronic solution grounded in the cultural-historical milieu of the times. Customer Reviews (1)

Addressing the issue of "One New Man"
What do they mean
Gimme that ole time religion, it's good enough for me I often say, if someone writes about me, and says, "She's fat and she talks too much, plus she is over 50..." I would have to say, "Ok there is truth there." But if someone writes, "Oh, you cannot take her seriously because she has been married and divorced six times," I would have to say, "This is slander." Baruch's book is a great example of the latter. His "truth" about the Messianic movement as he proclaims it is a product of his fertile imagination. Baruch seems to want to make all good Jews into good Christians, the way he understands Christianity, and according to where his paychecks have come from. Need I say any more? It is old time religion. His backers want controllable religion. His people want reality. He has made his personal choice.
Non-Jewish Judaism? The book is divided into two principal sections assessing the Messianic movement first theologically and then practically. These are interspersed with expositions of key biblical texts. The running commentaries on passages from Romans, Galatians, Hebrews and other New Testament books contain some of the finest writing in the book, being both devotionally uplifting, pastorally sensitive, evangelistically challenging, and theologically incisive. There are also a series of appendices on the history of the Messianic movement; prospects for Jewish evangelism; sample texts on Messianic Judaism; Jesus in the Talmud; and a full and up-to-date bibliography. There is a useful glossary of terms and a comprehensive index. Add to that a moving forward by Stan Telchin and you have arich resource for private devotion, informed prayer, and fuel for discussion on a subject that is both important and controversial within the field of Jewish mission. Baruch focuses on several themes, such as the Supremacy of Christ; the authority, interpretation and application of Scripture; the call to Holiness; the nature of Jewish identity; the difference between "Judaism" and "Jewishness"; the theological maturity of the Messianic Jewish movement; the danger of Rabbinic Judaism obscuring the Gospel in the life of Jewish believers in Jesus; and the call for effective evangelism. Baruch addresses these issues in the light of Reformation principles of "Sola Fides, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, Sola Scriptura," -Faith Alone, Grace Alone, Christ Alone, Scripture Alone. As a result, he finds much of the theology and practice of the Messianic movement wanting, and is not averse to saying so, in an inimitable style that combines both warmth, humour and a sharp wit. As I understand it, the key argument Baruch seeks to establish, and one with which not all will agree, is that "Judaism" is not "Jewish." By "Judaism" he means the religious system developed by the Rabbis in the light of the destruction of the Temple, Diaspora existence and rejection of Jesus. This "Judaism" is not properly "Jewish" in the original sense that God intended "Jewishness" to be - a biblical culture and identity which reflects God's presence and values, and is fulfilled in Christ. As such this "Judaism" should have no recognised authority over the beliefs and practices of Jewish believers in Jesus, and "Messianic Judaism", in seeking to combine faith in Jesus as the Messiah with a modified form of "Judaism", inevitably pursues a falsetrail. Baruch's view is that the Jewish identity of believers in Jesus should expressed in cultural, national and other "secular" ways, without the "religious" values the"Judaism" of the Rabbis seeks to impose."Messianic Judaism", as opposed to "Jewish Christianity" fails, according to Baruch, to distinguish between the religious and cultural/national aspects of "Jewishness", and therefore buys in to a rabbinically-imposed set of norms of what is expected to be truly "Jewish". Messianic Jews mistakenly see "positive religious value" in observance of the Torah. Baruch's concerned is that this marks a return to legalistic works-righteousness and that celebration of "Jewishness" usurps the place of "Jesusness" in life and witness. As one who is happy to be called a Messianic Jew (amongst other terms that describe Jewish believers in Jesus) and has been involved in the Messianic movement, I accept much of what is in the book as an accurate analysis and valid criticism of the movement from one who is both "in it, but not of it".But it seems to me that the central premise that "Judaism is not Jewish" does not ultimately stand.Like the Apostle Paul's enigmatic"not all Israel are Israel", it calls for a redefinition of terms and categories to fulfil of a particular agenda. "Judaism is not Jewish", works well as an evangelistic critique of the religious system of Rabbinic Judaism, and as a pastoral challenge to the movement to live for Christ alone. But it fails to provide a coherent understanding of the complex nature of Jewishness or adequately define the nature of the relationship between Jewish identity and faith in Christ. At the end of the day, "Judaism" and "Jewishness" share the same etymology - Yehudi - Iudaios -Jew. They were not designed to bear the weight of theological loading that makes "Judaism" bad and wrong, and "Jewishness" (correctly understood) as good and right. Jewish identity (or "Jewishness", if we think of some "essence" of being a Jew) results from a complex of factors such as history, language, culture, ethnicity, nationality, religion, and can not easily be reduced or simplified. The separation of Jewish identity into religious, cultural, national and other aspects can not be maintained satisfactorily, as all are aspects of a complex and ultimately theological phenomenon. Jewishness and the Judaisms which have emerged within it ultimately owe their existence to divine prerogative, God's calling into being of the Jewish people to be a light and a witness to the nations. Ultimately the issues which the existence of Messianic Judaism throws up, and which Baruch is concerned to address, can not be pinned down to organisational programs and structures, styles of worship, degrees of observance or personal choices, but are part of the mystery of the sovereign purposes of God in electing a remnant of Israel who accept Jesus as their Messiah. The Messianic movement is one particularly visible aspect of this divine initiative, and those of us involved in it, or who live out our Jewish identity in the light of the fulfilment we have in Christ, are bound to express all the problems and possibilities of a group belonging to two distinct communities that have failed to understand each other, and have often been antagonistic, since the time of the New Testament. Whilst Baruch takes a strong position in opposition to Messianic Judaism as he perceives it, his book is ultimately constructive, in that such "arguments for the sake of heaven" (to use the rabbinic dictum!) can notbut be for thebenefit of the building up of the Body of Christ as Messianic Jews seek to clarify and articulate their position more carefully vis-à-vis the major theological enterprises of Judaism and Christianity. "Judaism is not Jewish" represents a major contribution to the debate on the nature of Messianic Judaism, and is thus a key tool for anyone wishing to acquaint themselves with the issues that face Jewish Evangelism in the 21st century.

Editorial Review Product Description Not only does the Passover observance remind us of the Israelites’ rescue from Egyptian bondage, but, we also remember the Messiah's last supper, a Passover seder. The theme of redemption is seen throughout the evening. Our Haggadah (a Hebrew word, which means "the telling") is unique. It focuses on Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah and his teaching, especially on his last night in the upper room. Includes words and sheet music of the songs mentioned in the book and sung on Passover. Uses the popular Complete Jewish Bible where the Scriptures are quoted. Customer Reviews (16)

Original and Well Researched
The ultra- orthodox view of the modern state of Israel
"The Messiah and the Rabbis" Especially important are the "Three Oaths" which the Rabbis developed to forestall Messianic Zionism, after 70 AD. These were so successful, they prevented Zionism from developing in times when it could have, and made the 20th century development of it much more difficult. However, the Three Oaths were only one strand of Jewish Messianic thought, which to a large degree still ignores the stupendous developments of the past 60 years as having no significance. However, for this writer, the Holocaust and the birth of Israel, are exactly what would seem to an untrained observer: the arrival of the Messianic age. In my recent book, "Jewish History and Divine Providence" I provided an integrated Messianic view of Jewish history from a Liberal point of view. However, I begin from the point of view of Maimonides, whose messianic views were as sober and rational as the rest of his thought. In addition, the Kabbalah and its special rationality, is also critical in my analysis. Ravitsky provides one side of the Messianic debate. However, until now a liberal side to this debate has been lacking. Those who read both Ravitzky and "Jewish History and Divine Providence" will get the full story.

Editorial Review Product Description The messianic idea that a redeemer sent by God will come to end the suffering of a persecuted people and inaugurate a new age of justice and peace has been one of the most powerful and influential concepts given by the Jewish people to western civilization. This book represents a sample of the most penetrating and provocative scholarly interpretations of Jewish messianic movement from various perspectives- historical, sociological, psychological, and religious. |
