The idea of a Jewish Church has been banned from the Christian
horizon for almost two millennia. But things are changing. Since
the middle of the 70s the Messianic Jewish movement has strived to
build an ecclesial home for all Jewish believers in Christ. This
new phenomenon brings to life issues that had disappeared since the
first centuries of the Church. What does it mean to be a Jew in the
Church? Should there be a distinction between Jews and non-Jews
among believers in Christ? Is such a distinction compatible with
the unity of the whole Body of Christ so ardently preached by Paul?
What lifestyle should this Church promote? In his various works,
Mark Kinzer, a prominent Messianic Jewish theologian, has attempted
to provide substantial answers to these questions. Antoine Levy is
a Dominican priest. With Kinzer, Levy has launched the "Helsinki
Consultation", a cross-denominational gathering of Jewish
theologians. In Jewish Church: A Catholic Approach to Messianic
Judaism, Levy examines Kinzer's positions critically, bringing
forward an alternative vision of what a "Jewish Church" could and
should be. This is only the beginning of what promises to be a
fascinating discussion.

Description: Israel's Messiah and the People of God presents a rich
and diverse selection of essays by theologian Mark Kinzer, whose
work constitutes a pioneering step in Messianic Jewish theology.
Including several pieces never before published, this collection
illuminates Kinzer's thought on topics such as Oral Torah, Jewish
prayer, eschatology, soteriology, and Messianic Jewish-Catholic
dialogue. This volume offers the reader numerous portals into the
vision of Messianic Judaism offered in Kinzer's Postmissionary
Messianic Judaism (2005). An introductory essay by editor Jennifer
M. Rosner sets Kinzer's thought and writings in context.
Endorsements: ""Mark Kinzer is a 'break-through' thinker who has
taken Messianic Judaism to a new level of theological
sophistication. No one who cares deeply about the relationship
between Judaism and Christianity can afford to ignore these
essays."" --Richard J. Mouw President of Fuller Theological
Seminary ""This book is a welcome successor to Mark Kinzer's 2005
groundbreaking work, Postmissionary Messianic Judaism . . . It is
the kind of theological inquiry that both the Jewish Roots movement
and the Messianic Jewish movement are so greatly in need of.
Jennifer Rosner's collaboration in this project is a promising sign
that a new generation of Messianic Jewish scholars may be ready to
accept the challenge."" --Isaac Rottenberg First Chairperson of the
National Council of Churches Office on Christian-Jewish Relations
""This is a significant book. Although it is a collection of
articles and addresses, it has a far greater coherence than such
collections normally possess. This coherence flows directly from
the coherence of Mark Kinzer's life-project--to develop a form of
Messianic Judaism that is authentically Jewish, and at the same
time truly Messianic in the sense of fully recognizing the
centrality of Jesus in God's purpose for Israel and for the
world."" --Monsignor Peter Hocken Member of International Doctrinal
Commission for Catholic Charismatic Renewal ""Whether one welcomes
the Messianic Jewish movement wholeheartedly, with reservations, or
not at all, the increasing importance of its voice in contemporary
theological discussion is certain. This collection of essays by
Mark Kinzer demonstrates again why the issues raised by Messianic
Judaism are so fundamental in nature, and why Kinzer himself is
widely regarded as the movement's foremost theologian."" --R.
Kendall Soulen Professor of Systematic Theology, Wesley Theological
Seminary About the Contributor(s): Mark S. Kinzer is President
