Come, Let Us Reason Together: The Unity of Jews and Gentiles in the Church
Books at a Glance
Publisher’s Description
People from a Jewish background face difficult choices when they come to trust in Jesus
To be Jewish, maintains Baruch Maoz, is a blessing from God. But how should Jewish Christians worship? If they join churches, there is a real risk of assimilation. But if they establish synagogues, Gentile Christians feel excluded.
Some Jewish Christians have tried to solve these problems through Messianic Judaism, which allows them to proclaim Jesus as Messiah while retaining Jewish lifestyle and worship. Baurch Maoz maintains that the two cannot so easily be combined. He maintains that it is possible to be both Christian and Jewish without Messianic Judaism, and he points the way for Jewish Christians to retain their cultural identity without losing fellowship with other Christians.

“Jewish believers in Jesus have long been plagued with critical questions... Are we to worship in churches with out Gentile brothers and sisters, or are we to commit ourselves to Messianic Judaism? This book is must reading for anyone who cares about the Jewish people.”

“A supremely helpful analysis... Baruch Maoz is uniquely qualified to write on the subject, and he has done so with a charitable tone and point–by–point thoroughness that will benefit people on all sides of the controversy. I greatly appreciate his relentlessly biblical approach.”
