Jesus was Jewish, and his Jewish identity informed every aspect of
his work, words, and witness. He came as the Messiah of Israel,
God's covenant people, and he spoke the language of God's
faithfulness to this people. So why does it seem that Judaism has
little to do with our Christian discipleship today? Jennifer
Rosner, a scholar of Jewish-Christian relations, takes us on a
personal and corporate journey into the Jewish roots of Christian
faith and practice. Understanding Judaism-and the way in which
Judaism and Christianity became separate religions-is essential for
a rich and holistic Christian identity. As a follower of Jesus who
was raised in a Jewish home and who continues to live a Jewish
life, Rosner has seen firsthand how a Christian faith can become
impoverished when divorced from its Jewish roots. Finding Messiah
follows Rosner's own journey in rediscovering the role of Judaism
and God's covenant with Israel in Christian life and practice. When
we begin to understand Christianity's indelible relationship to
Judaism, key aspects of the Christian faith come alive and the
wonder of the gospel becomes clear in new and powerful ways. Jesus'
Judaism provides the foundation for the church that is built upon
his name. Rediscover the Jewish Jesus, and in so doing, experience
a deeper and richer faith than ever before.
