Issue 17 - Spring 2004
This issue of Kesher explores the place of the Messianic
Jewish Movement in relationship to Judaism and Christianity. Undoubtedly, Messianic
congregations are deeply connected on many levels to these religious worlds.
In the feature article, "Competing
Trends In Messianic Judaism: The Debate Over Evangelicalism," Gabriela Reason
highlights both commonalities and dissimilarities within the Messianic
Movement. Reason traces the history and character of the Messianic Jewish
Alliance of America (MJAA) and the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations (UMJC)
against the backdrop of Evangelical Christianity. Even though there are
limitations to Reason's work and she occasionally highlights views that are not
mainstream, the quality and depth of her research advances the conversation.
