Download or read book Israel Is Real written by Rich Cohen and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2009-07-21 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE A SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE BESTSELLER In AD 70, when the Second Temple was destroyed, a handful of visionaries saved Judaism by reinventing it, taking what had been a national religion and turning it into an idea. Whenever a Jew studied—wherever he was—he would be in the holy city, and his faith preserved. But in our own time, Zionists have turned the book back into a temple, and unlike an idea, a temple can be destroyed. With exuberance, humor, and real scholarship, Rich Cohen's Israel is Real offers "a serious attempt by a gifted storyteller to enliven and elucidate Jewish religious, cultural, and political history . . . A powerful narrative" (Los Angeles Times).

Download or read book Christianity Is Jewish written by Edith Schaeffer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edith Schaeffer lovingly encourages Christians to embrace the Jewishness of their faith. When the early church repudiated its Jewish roots, the New Testament became disconnected from its Hebraic foundations in the Old Testament. Edith Schaeffer presents a most convincing case for an unbreakable continuity in the flow of history from Genesis to Revelation. Her book reveals the thread of redemption in its Jewish context and Christianity as a grafted vine rooted in Judaism. The reader will hardly be able to miss the conclusion that the Christian gospel built on the foundation of the prophets and of the apostles is entirely Jewish. We live in a time when Christians and Jews are confused about their true identity and mutual calling to each other. This book deserves a re-edition at a time of unrelenting persistence of anti-Semitism, when much of the world turns their backs on Israel and the Jews. The global community of nations risks abandoning its Judeo-Christian heritage. This book's simple message may be what is needed to open the eyes of the Church to what Christianity owes to the Jews: gratitude, love, and the knowledge of their Jewish Messiah as the true Passover Lamb.
Download or read book An Unusual Relationship written by Yaakov Ariel and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-06-24 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this enormously well researched and gracefully argued book, Ariel develops a nuanced theme: the complexity, ambivalence, and even paradox that has characterized conservative Protestant beliefs regarding Jews and Israel, and the diverse responses among Jews. . . . First-rate scholarship presented in a pleasingly accessible style." —Stephen Spector, author of Evangelicals and Israel: The Story of American Christian Zionism It is generally accepted that Jews and evangelical Christians have little in common. Yet special alliances developed between the two groups in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Evangelicals viewed Jews as both the rightful heirs of Israel and as a group who failed to recognize their true savior. Consequently, they set out to influence the course of Jewish life by attempting to evangelize Jews and to facilitate their return to Palestine. Their double-edged perception caused unprecedented political, cultural, and theological meeting points that have revolutionized Christian-Jewish relationships. An Unusual Relationship explores the beliefs and political agendas that evangelicals have created in order to affect the future of the Jews. This volume offers a fascinating, comprehensive analysis of the roots, manifestations, and consequences of evangelical interest in the Jews, and the alternatives they provide to conventional historical Christian-Jewish interactions. It also provides a compelling understanding of Middle Eastern politics through a new lens. Yaakov Ariel is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His book, Evangelizing the Chosen People, was awarded the Albert C. Outler prize by the American Society of Church History. In the Goldstein-Goren Series in American Jewish History

Download or read book The Secret of the Immortality of the Jews written by Tan Nget Hong and published by 文桥传播中心. This book was released on with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great novelist Mark Twain once described the Jews this way: If statistics are right, the Jews constituted but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly, the Jews ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also always out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed; and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality? What is the secret of the immortality of the Jews? As Mark Twain wrote in 1897, the civilizations of Egypt, Babylon, Greece and Rome, which flourished at the same time as the ancient Jewish civilization, were once glorious, but they all had long ceased to exist, and today only some excavated artifacts are left in the museums to prove their existence. But the ancient Jewish people are still as vigorous today as they were in ancient time. Not only that, but in the fifty years after Mark Twain wrote the article, or two thousand years after the destruction of the nation by the Romans, the nation Israel was miraculously reborn! The Jews who had been exiled and scattered all over the world were miraculously regathered back to the land of their ancestor, and today the nation is a strong and prosperous state in the Middle East. Not only that, Hebrew, the Jewish language that had been declared 'dead' for more than a thousand years, was brought back to life again with the return of the Jews to Israel. Today, Hebrew is the official language of the State of Israel, used by 10 million Israelis. In human history, no other nation that has been destroyed is ever restored after two thousand years; nor has the language of any other nation that was dead for nearly two thousand years and then come back to life again. What is the secret of the immortality of the Jews? The answer to this question is actually quite simple: the secret of the immortality of the Jews is that God's hand continues to be upon them, because God is keeping them alive! And this is because the Jews have a very important role to play in God's end times plan. To put it simply, the secret of the immortality of the Jews is the hand of God is on them! That's the theme of this book. **Here the author will explore the roles of the Jews and the nation of Israel in God's plan for the end times in the Bible, and provide more detailed historical facts about the restoration of the Jews in our generation. These historical facts are evidences that the restoration of modern Israel is God's work. In this book, we will also explore the spiritual significance of Israel's restoration and how we, as Christians, should respond to God's work of restoration of Israel in these last days. ▊ABOUT THE AUTHOR **Dr Tan Nget Hong is the Elder of the Chinese Church of the Petaling Jaya Evangelical Free Church in Malaysia.
