Synopsis
When first published, MESSIANIC JUDAISM stirred controversy throughout the country. The first book to critically examine the role of Messianic Jews in American religious life, it traces the history of this faith that that accepts Jesus as the savior from its late nineteenth-century origin in evangelical Christian missions. Reconstructionist Rabbi Carol Harris-Shapiro bases this portrait on her conversations with members of a large Messianic Jewish community. MESSIANIC JUDAISM adds significant new insights into the nature and varieties of religious experience in United States.

Review
This book should be read by everyone who has ever asked the question 'Who is a Jew?' --Rebecca Alpert, author of Like Bread on a Seder Plate
"A provocative and thoroughly engaging exploration of Judaism's boundaries. . . . An important book for all those concerned about Judaism's future." --Naomi Mara Hyman, Moment "Harris-Shapiro uses an effective blend of scholarship, interviews, and personal insights to explain a concept that is often at odds with traditional Judaism and occasionally with Evangelical Christianity, with which it shares both ideology and resources. This compelling and evenhanded volume should attract readers from both Jewish and Christian communities." --Ilene Cooper, Booklist "A balanced historical account of the movement's history and development." --Publishers Weekly "[Harris-Shapiro's] cogent and lucid writing allows her to present an unbiased . . . study of a community's theology." --Library Journal "Ground-breaking [and] enlightening." --Arnold Ages, Jewish TribuneSynopsis
A rabbi traces the history of Messianic movement within the Jewish community and explores the lives and struggles of those who believe the Messiah has already come.
