Synopsis:

A Chasidic discourse from one of the pioneers of Messianic Judaism, crammed with stimulating thought and pervaded by real spiritual beauty, Love and the Messianic Age is a mint of good things and solid learning.

Love and the Messianic Age is adorned in a magnificent, sturdy gold-embossed hardcover, and it would make a handsome and classic addition to any library. Its 87 pages contain a biography of the author, an introduction by D. Thomas Lancaster, and numerous footnotes.

This is an essential book for Messianic Judaism and Christianity. It opens a field of inquiry and reflection that encourages us to internalize the spiritual truths of theology and our faith in Messiah and causes us to consider our relationship with God, our motivations for serving him, and how our interactions with God and Torah can be expressed in hearts of joy, acts of love, fervent prayer, and sincere repentance. Most importantly, Levertoff’s work demonstrates just how mysterious and wonderful the gospel message actually is.

About the Author

Paul Philip Levertoff, a Jewish believer from a Chasidic family with a classical, Yeshivah education, summarizes the complex, esoteric teachings of Chasidic Judaism for comparison and contrast with apostolic theology. Levertoff reveals a mystical thrust behind the gospel and unfurls the Messianic concept of love—love for God and love of fellow—bound up with the experience of knowing God and fearing God, relationship to his Torah, and a life characterized by joy, prayer, and repentance.
