Abstract

After the terrible fate of the Jewish people in Auschwitz, and following the establishment of the State of Israel, Christian theology had to rethink the identity and position of the people of Israel—totally and fundamentally. In the wake of the same historical events another aspect emerged unexpectedly, which is the growth of that part of the Jews who called themselves Hebrew Christians, Jewish Christians, or Messianic Jews (further: MJ). The latter name is favoured nowadays. When speaking of the historical movement of the first centuries the term Judaeo-Christians is mostly used. The emergence of the contours of a Messianic Jewish theology followed what Richard Harvey, himself a Messianic Jew, basically does in this book: sifting through the various and varying contributions to theological thinking from a Messianic Jewish perspective, presenting these under a selected number of ‘heads of doctrine’, and trying to draw up an agenda in order to come to the contours of a comprehensive theology of Messianic Judaism. This book seems to be the first in a series Studies in MJ Theology, to be edited by the author. The introduction informs the reader that there are some 150.000 Jewish believers in Jesus worldwide (two-third of this
