Book Description
For 2000 years Christian missionaries have attempted to convert Jews to Christianity using the Jewish Bible as proof. Although great rabbinic scholars have over the years refuted many of these false teachings Gerald Sigal's, THE JEWISH RESPONSE TO MISSIONARY CHRISTIANITY, is the authoritative collection. First, Sigal analyzes the proof texts that the missionaries use and shows their distortions and mistakes. Next he turns his attention to the New Tesament and proves conclusively that it cannot be the Word of God. THE JEWISH RESPONSE TO MISSIONARY CHRISTIANITY is a book for scholars and laymen alike. Warning: If you are a Jew who has embraced Christian missionary teachings this book will shake you to your core.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1851 edition. Excerpt: ...and I will restore thy judges as at first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; afterwards thou shalt be called the City of Righteousness, the faithful city/' Similar to this prophecy are the words of Ezekiel xxii. 15, " And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse them in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee." All this tends to prove the object of our exile as solely to purify us, to rid us of inherent imperfections, and to free us from the pollution of our sins. Hence the prophet, with a view to our ultimate purification, says, in Lamentations iv. 22, " Thy iniquity, O daughter of Zion, is ended; He shall no more cause thee to be a captive." Now, we will show that no argument can be established against us, from the words of Jeremiah xv. 1, " And the Lord said unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people; cast them out of my sight, and-let them go forth." These words were addressed to Jeremiah after the Lord had charged him thrice not to intercede on behalf of Judah and Benjamin, that they might be led into captivity like the other ten tribes. For the Lord had said to Jeremiah, chap. vii. 15 16, "And I will cast you out of my sight as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim: therefore, pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them, neither make intercession to me, for I will not hear thee." Now the Lord explained to him the reason why He would not listen to his intercessions, and he says (in verse 17, 18), " Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes for the...

Book Description
An examination of the life and work of Alexander McCaul and his impact on Jewish-Christian relations In Missionaries, Converts, and Rabbis, David B. Ruderman considers the life and works of prominent evangelical missionary Alexander McCaul (1799-1863), who was sent to Warsaw by the London Society for the Promotion of Christianity Amongst the Jews. He and his family resided there for nearly a decade, which afforded him the opportunity to become a scholar of Hebrew and rabbinic texts. Returning to England, he quickly rose up through the ranks of missionaries to become a leading figure and educator in the organization and eventually a professor of post-biblical studies at Kings College, London. In 1837, McCaul published The Old Paths, a powerful critique of rabbinic Judaism that, once translated into Hebrew and other languages, provoked controversy among Jews and Christians alike. Ruderman first examines McCaul in his complexity as a Hebraist affectionately supportive of Jews while opposing the rabbis. He then focuses his attention on a larger network of his associates, both allies and foes, who interacted with him and his ideas: two converts who came under his influence but eventually broke from him; two evangelical colleagues who challenged his aggressive proselytizing among the Jews; and, lastly, three Jewish thinkers—two well-known scholars from Eastern Europe and a rabbi from Syria—who refuted his charges against the rabbis and constructed their own justifications for Judaism in the mid-nineteenth century. Missionaries, Converts, and Rabbis reconstructs a broad transnational conversation between Christians, Jews, and those in between, opening a new vista for understanding Jewish and Christian thought and the entanglements between the two faith communities that persist in the modern era. Extending the geographical and chronological reach of his previous books, Ruderman continues his exploration of the impact of Jewish-Christian relations on Jewish self-reflection and the phenomenon of mingled identities in early modern and modern Europe.
