A constant reminder against hurried conclusions1
When I first started to read this book I was merely satisfying curiosities and trying to find scholarly support for some theories that I had brewing in my head for some time. However (luckily) this book was not exactly what I was expecting. Instead of facing a book which confirmed my views I found a book which repetedly challenged some of my (extreme liberal) concepts. While the book is not intended to be a pseudo christian apology it does have that effect occasionally. However most of the times, all the arguments presented have a Very strong argumentation behind them, backed by a generous Bibliography (Canonical, and Lay). Also the fact that on most topics Rowland doesn't seem to come to a conclusion, strangely enough seems to be a positive feature and the most logic of possibilities. He limits himself at presenting a situation, presents different possibilities to the problem and finally takes only intimate conclusions, which can be either accepted or not. This obviously is the praxis with all authors, but Rowland has the ability of sounding unpretentious and thankfully non-pedagogic. this doesn't take anything away from the scholarly weight of the book. Furthermore, at times, the book's wide bibliography fished out details (frequently from non-christian historical sources and works) which made me re-think on some concepts and tricky interpretations already crystallized in my head. Mind you! this is not a book about Jesus, but a book about Judeo-christian (pardon the liberty I've taken with the term)origins, which owes its origin only partially to Jesus. For this reason the book is craftily divided in 3 different segments: a third on first cent. Judaism, a third on Jesus, and a third on th post resurrection-narrative movement. Also there is a strong claim for the Centrality of Eschatology, downplayed in recent exegetical works
While the only problem with this book is its apparent lack of conclusion, it has the tools to make the reader think twice before accepting tendentialist far-fetched ideas and unargumentative blunt narratives about church origins and survival. Recomended especially for the medium-to-advance students of the topic. ... Read more

Excerpt: Jonathan Bernis (born December 1, 1959 in Pittsford, New York) is an American rabbi of Messianic Judaism, an evangelist, and a television personality who hosts a television program called Jewish Voice Today which airs weekly on Christian television throughout the United States and worldwide. It must be noted that although Mr Bernis presents himself as a rabbi, there is no record that he has received the formal training from a conventional Jewish seminary which is the prerequisite customarily associated with this honorific. Jonathan was brought up in the affluent Rochester, New York suburb of Pittsford. In school growing up he was known as an amiable and personable lad who got on well with both teachers and fellow students. He was a smart enough fellow and achieved moderate academic success by graduation, though he was the type who it was said of "doesnt always apply himself". This was especially true by the time he reached Pittsford Mendon High School and fell in with the Marijuana smoking crowd. In his last year of high school, he gained fame hosting "Bernie's Party" a bacchanal quite well regarded not the least of which reason being his parents handed over the keys to their home to him and his older bother and then left town for the weekend! In college, Jonathan began questioning his faith and studying other ideologies, and he started getting heavily involved in the party lifestyle.

Product Description
This collection of 16 articles represents a selection of the papers delivered in the course of a seminar (1995-1996) at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and its concluding joint symposium held at the Institute and Princeton University. Wide-ranging in scope, the volume covers messianic expectations from biblical times up to modern and contemporaneous adaptations including: diversity and variety of messianic expectations in antiquity; messianic movements at the time of the Crusades and around the fifth millennium (1240); the "Pseudo-Messiah" Sabbatai Avi in the early modern period; the philosopher Hermann Cohens' messianism; as well as the Lubavitch movement. Also included are investigations on pagan Graeco-Roman writings and messianic strands in the medieval and baroque Christian context. The section on the modern period contains contributions dealing with the Ahmaddiyya movement in India, messianic currents in the socio-political culture of the Weimar Republic as well as certain messianic aspects in the very recent so-called Branch Davidian community in Waco, Texas. The broad spectrum of analysis provides a re-evaluation of an apparently timeless phenomenon. ... Read more

Must Have!
Highly recommended. Looks at the Feast from a Messianic perspective. Great devotional to celebrate the appointed times.

Messianic, devotions
I bought three different titles from this author. The books are great, I use them all of the time. I recieved the books in a timely manner and in very good condition.

Great for Messianic Jews
I loved this devotional also along with the other Messianic devotional, he published. As a Jewish Believer in Yeshua, it is better suited for me. It uses the Hebrew names or sacred names. I love it! A wonderful blessing to all who have it. ... Read more

Fascinated
A fascinating collection of lectures.The discussion of some of the more bizarre, and yet intellectual followers of Shabtai Zvi into the 20th century is amazing.I had never understood antinomianism, but Scholem explains the thinking and rationale behind it brilliantly.

Jews gone wild
The first half of this book discusses the evolution and decay of the Sabbatai Zevi messianist movement: not just of its birth (discussed in more detail in Scholem's book Mystical Messiah) but also of its slow decay.(For readers unfamiliar with Zevi, a brief summary: in the mid-1660s, Jews throughout the world came to believe Zevi was the Messiah; after being threatened with execution by the Ottoman Empire, Zevi converted to Islam.Nevertheless, some Jews continued to believe in him until the 19th century).

Scholem proposes two possible causes for the survival of Sabbatianism after Zevi's apostasy.First, 17th-century kabbalah (the Jewish mystical tradition) saw Messianic renewal not just as a nationalist rebirth of a Jewish state, but as a more spiritual process transforming all of creation, ultimately leading to Messianic deliverance.Scholem speculates that kabbalism made it easier for Jews to trust their own personal experiences over historical reality; as a result, some Jews could not admit "that their own personal experience had been false and untrustworthy."Moreover, many Jews had left countries (most notably Spain) where they were forced to practice Judaism in secret; thus, they found it easy to believe that Zevi was doing the same.

Scholem also addresses the Sabbatians' split-up into multiple factions."Moderate" Sabbatians continued to follow halacha (Jewish law) believing that they were bound to do so until Messianic deliverance reappeared.But more radical Sabbatians either followed Zevi's lead by apostasizing, and/or by secretly rejecting halacha (Jewish law).The radicals believed that since the Messiah had come, the commandments of the Torah were abrogated, based on the idea of a "mystical Torah" of absolute freedom predating creation.Some radicals even suggested that Zevi (or even later Sabbatian leaders) was an incarnation of God.But as the memories of Zevi grew fainter and fainter, Sabbatianism decayed; some Sabbatians assimilated into Christianity and Islam, while in the 19th century, others embraced secularism or Reform Judaism.

Like Sabbatians, Hasidim embraced mysticism.But they focused on individual redemption rather than universal social redemption, thus reducing the temptation to expect imminent messianic deliverance.Scholem also points out that both Sabbatians and Hasidim embraced the concept of leaders "descending in order to rise" into the world of the less-holy.Where Sabbatians saw the "descent" of their Messiah as apostasy or as violations of halacha, Hasidim saw their rebbes "descending" into the realm of the mundane by teaching and leading their flock (rather than engaging in solitary communion with the Divine).

Most of the last third of the book is less interesting than Scholem's essays on Sabbatianism and Hasidism; to a greater extent than the first few, they focus on issues which require a very high level of cultural literacy (such as a book review of a now-obscure book, or a discussion of Martin Buber's German translation of the Torah).A fortunate exception is Scholem's essay on the Star of David; he shows that the hexagram was not a purely Jewish symbol until the 14th century, when the Jews of Prague placed it on a flag (perhaps because its use on magical amulets was then common).The symbol did not spread to eastern Europe until the 19th century, when the emancipated Jews of Europe wanted to show their respectability by having a symbol in their synagogues as simple to understand as the Christian cross.

Discourse on Messianic Judiasm
The large majority of this book discusses the rise and fall of messianism through the medieval period and how it affects Judaism today. There are also other essays present that discuss the history of the Star of David symbolism and the mystical golems.

The author presents the case of how Sabbatianism and Hasidism influenced the messianic themes that are prevalent in today's Judiasm. Some of the more interesting readings cover the notion of Sabbatianism and its transformation to a sect that believes in a messiah that pointed the way to redemption through sin as a result of its heretical leadership.

Identifying some of the religious inadequacies of Sabbatianism and how they gave rise to Hasidism and the notion of a messianism that focuses on self and personal redemption, the author presents a plausible argument worthy of serious debate for years to come.

Messianism, Antinomianism, and Jewish Spirituality
Gershom Scholem, recognized as one of the foremost academic scholars of Jewish mysticism of the 20th century, presents here an excellent series of essays exploring the crises caused by fits of messianism in Judaism, especially the Sabbatian crisis.

The essays include:

Toward an Understanding of the Messianic Idea in Judaism- details the concept of the messiah (mosiach) in the Hebrew exoteric traditions throughout history.

The Messianic Idea in Kabbalism- explores the origins of kabbalistic messianism in Isaac Luria and how this paved the way for Sabbatai Zevi.

The Crisis of Tradition in Jewish Mysticism- discusses the antinomian tendencies of messianic movements (esp. in the Sabbatians and post-Sabbatians, such as the Frankists and the Donme) and how Jewish law is abridged by proclamations of a new law, which is further advanced in the next essay,

Redemption through Sin- a more thorough look at antinomianism in Judaism, and how it stems from the idea of Spiritual Torah vs. Written Torah.

Further essays explore the Donme movement in greater detail, takes a look at a rare Sabbatian will from a Sabbatian who lived in New York in the 1800's, further essays on Hasidism and it's retort to Messianism, as well as the mystical aspects of Devekut (Hasidic "Cleaving to God"), and further essays in Jewish scholarship and an essay on the birth of the Star of David as a Jewish symbol.

Highly recommended to all parties interested in more advanced scholarship in Kabbalah and Jewish Heresy. ... Read more

Meet Cousin John Dualey

Hang down ya head John Dualey
Hang down ya head and cry
Hang down ya head John Dualey
Or Po-Boy ya bound to die

Ya tryin’ to eat your cake, John Dualey?
Eat it and keep it all too?
Common folk around all tell me
It’s sumpin you jes can’t do

God’s got some Jews now b’lievin’
Or maybe you jus’ won’t see
He’s grafting-in Gentiles with ‘em
Gonna break all Israel free

Messianics moving in His love
He’s made ‘em His living key
To release resurrection power
And set all Israel free

All Israel shall be saved
A few Gentiles grafted in
God wrote it in the book o’ Romans
Where in the world have ya been?

Ya plowing a blind mule Dualey
Mmilking on an old dry cow
Wake up 'n smell the revelation
Grab a resurrection plow

(Apologies to John’s cousin, Tom Dooley—who never practiced dual covenant replacement theology a day of his life.)

We are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms. Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground ...Eph 6:12-14 (NLT)

CRI-TI-CAL NOTE!
I will NOT repeat this over and over so it is imperative that you get this upfront and downgood. This is not PRIMARILY a Hagee problem. It is a deceiving spirit with a doctrine of demons problem. Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons... (1 Tim 4:1 NKJV)

We are NOT fighting against John Hagee who is made of flesh and blood, but we ARE fighting against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, and against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms as manifested in bygone days through Haman, Hitler, and a whole host of other flesh-and-blooders. We are fighting against these principalities and powers with prayers and hope that the John Hagees of our day and the people they influence may be freed up to become builders of the kingdom of God on earth according to the Word and plan of God until it has become “as in heaven.”

Read that two more times to make sure you got it good. Why? Because up ahead you will read a no-holds barred, in your face expose—no punches pulled. Of course, Hagee is spotlighted. He is lead carrier of that which must be destroyed. Either he parts ways with it, or else he goes down with it. You got it? If you can’t handle that, don’t waste your time reading any further. This is serious-as-a-stroke stuff.

Introduction: Who is MESSIANIC Israel?
This nation God owns includes all people carrying Jewish DNA who have received Jesus of Nazareth as their Messiah and are caught up into a lifestyle around Him—whether on the Land of God’s Israel or on the sands of another shore. This nation God owns scripturally includes some non-Jewish, Jesus-obedient souls grafted-into Nation Israel's olive tree, i.e., not caught up in their own church importance, not trying to get believing Jews to forsake their responsibility as God’s Israel Nation in order to “join their church.”

Hello Church! How smart is that? The whole tree is somehow supposed to “humble itself” and get itself fitted into wild olive branches instead of staying a tree, giving root and life-sustenance to the limp limb-scragglies pimping the true Church, messing with the true bride. Not nice! And yes, I do know about the “one new man.” He lives—and will rule this physical, natural world—in and through Church empowered Messianic Israel—with or without Reverend Hagee’s endorsement.

This book is about that. ... Read more

Know What to Answer Missionaries

Many millions of dollars are annually spent by Christian missionary groups all over the world to directly target Jews for conversion to Christianity. This includes complete openness, such as when they clearly say they are trying to get Jews to convert, and very often it is disguised as some sort of "Jewish" outreach. The latter group includes calling themselves "Messianic" Jews or having "Messianic" synagogues.

The author does not intend to use this publication as a means of attacking Christianity but rather as a means of defense to Jews that are so massively targeted by Christian missionaries in annual multi-million dollar campaigns to betray their Heritage and God.

Excellent Counter Missionary Book
This book is short but packed with all you need to see why Judaism can not accept Jesus/YEshua as a god, son of god or messiah. It brings the 'proofs' missionaries have brought since JEsus' times for centuries as they tried to convert Jews, whether by the sword (Inquisition, Crusades) , expulsions (most of Europe), or massive missionarizing campagns. This book is short and straght to the point! (see my comments to Midrasin's post via the comments link by his message)

Here's an idea of the style of what's in this info packed small book.
It appears there was one "point of inference" used by missionaries from the TOrah ("Old TEstament") I forgot to bring in the book. So here's what I have to say regarding it. For more get the book - it's all there. :)

ISaiah 9
[6] For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty "Ail" (Hebrew word) , The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
[7] Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

In these verses missionaries say it shows a "son" will be born and he seems to be called G-d. Firstly, the Hebrew word here is "AIL". That means "Mighty". G-d is refered to as "Mee Kamocha BaAilim Adonie" - Who is like you among the Mighty, Oh L-rd. It does indeed sometimes refer to G-d or can to an angel or the "mighty". When refering to G-d it means the AlMighty. Many commentators explain it says indeed that G-d who is "Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty "Ail" (Hebrew word) , The everlasting Father," shall call this child the "Prince of Peace".
It refers to King Hezekiah, in who's days shall come peace. In his days the Assyrians tried to conquer Jerusalem and laid siege and miraculously the Assyrian army died in their sleep (see Chronicles 2 Chap 32). In Hebrew it says "VKara Shmo", which can mean his name shall be calledWonderful, etc or "Shall be called By the Wonderful, etc" - shall be called the "Prince of Peace".
However to proclaim something massive such as that god shall have a son, and that this "son" shall change the religoun as until now it was for so many centuries, would not be hidden in such a manner in these 2 verses. Rather it foretells of King Hezekia and reassures the King of Judah of G-ds protection of Judah for much time to come.

Do they mean only Jesus would talk of kindness and peace but JUdaism did not before him?
Here are just a few verses from the Torah (Old Testament)
Exodus 22
[22] Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
[25] If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
Exod.23
[1] Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
[4] If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
[5] If thou see the donkey of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
Leviticus 19
[13] Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
[14] Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind,
[18] thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:
[34] But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the L-RD your G-d.
Lev 25
[35] And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.


Indeed there has NOT been Peace from Jesus time, consider the destruction of the Temple and 2 Roman wars upon Judea since and of course the countless wars all over the world to the present.
Is Jesus a "Prince of Peace"? Wars Fought by Christians -> Crusades, Empire wars of England, France, Spain, Germany, Russia, Hundred Years War, US Revolution, French Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War in US, Sinco Demayo, Spanish American War, WW1, WW2, Nato versus Serbia, Falkland Islands War. This does not count of course all the many other wars the world has seen since Jesus time. Indeed many tens of millions have died in wars by the Standard Bearers of the "Prince of peace".

For those that have been born and bred and in communities of such that a man killed over 2000 years ago is a man-god, messiah and son of god at the same time it's hard to see the falsehood of such notions. Such premises ordinarily shouldn't even see the light of day. Re-forumulating words in the large verbose Scriptures to somehow suit such ideas is really trying to remake the Scriptures to suit their desires. How can god be killed or why would he literally have a son (from an engaged woman at that) that would then be killed and re-born. It's actually all to attract converts from the Pagan world of those times. But for many living like so many hundreds of millions of people do is very tempting, so they would overlook Truth just to "be accepted". Abraham did not do that when the world was Pagan. This book will help Guide You To the Truth You Know in Your Heart. Hear Oh Israel the Lord Our G-d The L-rd is One. Say it in Hebrew - Shma Yisroel Adonie Elohainoo Adonie Echad.

A sad little book
This book is the latest in a steady trickle of books attempting to fend off attempts by Christian missionaries to persuade Jewish people to recognize Jesus as their true Messiah.

I was really surprised by this book (I could almost say disappointed!) as I was expecting it to say something new.However, it really says nothing new in its meagre 40 pages.

I am really not sure why some of today's Jewish religious leaders are so fearful of following Messiah Jesus.Is it because they think that Jewish people will lose their ethnic identity by doing so?Or do they fear that Jewish people will inevitably lose their traditions and culture.Solomon writes: `My message to those that might be susceptible to missionary or "messianic" efforts is that we owe it to ourselves, our ancestors, our people, 3000 years of solid heritage, to give it a good hard look before tossing it out for the sake of assimilation" (p.3.)But why cannot Jewish Christians retain their Jewish customs and still follow Jesus as Messiah?Surely it is a matter of personal choice.

I can't think of anything more calculated to reduce the size of the Jewish community, and drive pious Jewish people away from Jewish tradition, than disowning them simply because they become convinced that they should follow Jesus as their Messiah.Yet still they do it!For another way of seeing things, I would recommend Professor Dan Cohn-Sherbok's book: "Messianic Judaism" (Continuum International Publishing Group - Pinter, 2000)

Furthermore, the New Testament itself makes it plain that there will always be a Jewish people at least until the end of the age (Romans 11:25-32; Luke 21:24).Why is that?It is because God Himself has a special interest in preserving a group of people of Jewish identity.If God Himself has determined that there will always be Jews in the world, howevermuch nonJews might try to wipe them out, what is there to fear?Is God so incapable of fulfilling His promises to the Jews that He needs the pathetic efforts of people like this writer who, out of zeal for God, end up distorting the truth?

As for the theological objections raised in this book, they have already been answered in these, and other, books:-

1. Michael L. Brown in: `Answers to Jewish Objection to Jesus':
Vol.1: General and historical objections (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2000),
Vol.2: Theological objections (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2000),
Vol.3: Messianic Prophecy objections (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2003),
Vol.4: New Testament Objections (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2007).
