Abstract: | |||||
Dialogue between Jews and Christians is of the utmost importance
to both communities of faith. This thesis examines the status and
role of one particular constituency which has a vested interest
in the process and outcome of that dialogue. The people concerned
are the Messianic Jewish community, which is to say, Jewish
people who, from conviction, have accepted that Jesus of Nazareth
is indeed Israel's Messiah. They claim to be firmly established
in the full teaching of the New Testament about the person and
work of Jesus, and at the same time irrevocably Jewish in their
own persons and lives.
Whereas there have been a few sociological studies of specific
groups of such Messianic Jews, or Hebrew Christians, as some
prefer, this thesis has three distinctives:
a) It is primarily a theological study.
b) It is an examination of the whole movement.
c) It is an attempt to let the movement's leaders speak for
themselves, and at some length.
The thesis of the thesis is that dialogue should be opened up by
both the Church and-the Synagogue with the Messianic Jewish
movement.
