A Response by Daniel C. Juster

Mark Kinzer has recently authored a very important book on Messianic Judaism. The book is clearly and logically presented and persuasive, however, I do have some disagreements.   A HERMENEUTIC OF LOVE The first chapter of Kinzer’s book provides us with a very helpful hermeneutic. When the teaching of Scripture is clear, we are to be submitted to this teaching. Sometimes texts are capable of different overall interpretations. When this is the case, we should choose a probable interpretation that is more loving. This is the one that will have good consequences. Christian history,
