With this book, Yaakov Ariel offers the first comprehensive history
of Protestant evangelization of Jews in America to the present day.
Based on unprecedented research in missionary archives as well as
Jewish writings, the book analyzes the theology and activities of
both the missions and the converts and describes the reactions of
the Jewish community, which in turn helped to shape the evangelical
activity directed toward it. Ariel delineates three successive
waves of evangelism, the first directed toward poor Jewish
immigrants, the second toward American-born Jews trying to
assimilate, and the third toward Jewish baby boomers influenced by
the counterculture of the Vietnam War era. After World War II, the
missionary impulse became almost exclusively the realm of
conservative evangelicals, as the more liberal segments of American
Christianity took the path of interfaith dialogue. As Ariel shows,
these missionary efforts have profoundly influenced
Christian-Jewish relations. Jews have seen the missionary movement
as a continuation of attempts to delegitimize Judaism and to do
away with Jews through assimilation or annihilation. But to
conservative evangelical Christians, who support the State of
Israel, evangelizing Jews is a manifestation of goodwill toward
them. |The first comprehensive history of Protestant evangelization
