This book is the go-to source for introductory information on Messianic Judaism. Editors David Rudolph and Joel Willitts have assembled a thorough examination of the ecclesial context and biblical foundations of the diverse Messianic Jewish movement. Unique among similar works in its Jew-Gentile partnership, this book brings together a team of respected Messianic Jewish and Gentile Christian scholars, including Mark Kinzer, Richard Bauckham, Markus Bockmuehl, Craig Keener, Darrell Bock, Scott Hafemann, Daniel Harrington, R. Kendall Soulen, Douglas Harink and others. Opening essays, written by Messianic Jewish scholars and synagogue leaders, provide a window into the on-the-ground reality of the Messianic Jewish community and reveal the challenges, questions and issues with which Messianic Jews grapple. The following predominantly Gentile Christian discussion explores a number of biblical and theological issues that inform our understanding of the Messianic Jewish ecclesial context. Here is a balanced and accessible introduction to the diverse Messianic Jewish movement that both Gentile Christian and Messianic Jewish readers will find informative and fascinating.

My rating 4 out of 5 stars.
The book holds essays that cover a variety of topics with all of them of short duration, making for easy reading and conversations with others. I was looking for a book that would help me understand Messianic Judaism without being bogged down with academic terminology or linguistic studies, though those have their place.
Understanding Messianic Jewish thought and life is a tough undertaking when one sees the host of books written and various conclusions of authors. The best part of the essays for the most part is the helpful introduction into a people with a long history and deep roots. There were essays that were very insightful, some that I frankly had no clue what they were putting forth and others that were frankly empty.
I do think this book would help anyone seeking to understand with a good start in that direction. No, this book is not to be thought of as covering all topics related to Messianic thought or life. Readers will find many other sources noted at the end of each essay should they choose to pursue further understanding, and I found that a big plus. Though the book is only four years old, I would like to see an updated or new version of this one published for easy reading and further study.
Like any book written by human authors there will be conclusions one agrees with and those that aren’t compatible with one’s understanding. As long as one reads with discernment and ultimately looking at the infallible source of Scripture for the final conclusion, anyone who at least reads even a couple essays will walk away with a deeper love and appreciation for the Jewish people, land and nation.
