There are some Jews who believe that the Messiah has already
returned. Although these Jews are considered cult members or
apostates by many, Carol Harris-Shapiro-herself a rabbi-engages one
community of Messianic Jews to see what their presence says about
American Jewish identity, religious affiliation, and the emergence
of hybrid faiths in a secular society.
When first published, "Messianic Judaism" stirred controversy
throughout the country. The first book to critically examine the
role of Messianic Jews in American religious life, it traces the
history of this faith that that accepts Jesus as the savior from
its late nineteenth-century origin in evangelical Christian
missions. Reconstructionist Rabbi Carol Harris-Shapiro bases this
portrait on her conversations with members of a large Messianic
Jewish community. "Messianic Judaism" adds significant new insights
into the nature and varieties of religious experience in United
States.
