Issue 22 - Spring/Summer 2008 Double Issue
 This edition of Kesher is a themed issue dedicated to soteriology in the context of
Messianic Judaism. The
theme of soteriology is timely, since there are two Messianic events that deal
with this issue. The first is the
Borough Park Symposium (October, 2007) and the second is a Theological Forum on
Soteriology hosted by the UMJC Theology Committee (March, 2008). For those who have not been able to attend
these events, this issue of Kesher
includes a selection of the papers.
