To the Jew First, the case for jewish evangelism in scripture and history

Based upon the biblical mandate to take the gospel "to the Jew first," there has been a renewed effort among Christians to bring the gospel of Jesus to the Jewish community. This comprehensive resource looks at the historical, theological, and biblical context for doing so, and provides encouragement for Christians and Messianic Jews engaged in evangelism. To the Jew First includes contributions by Richard A. Averbeck, Craig A. Blaising, Walter C. Kaiser, Richard L. Pratt Jr., and ten other evangelical scholars.

This little book addresses the Scripture found in Romans - "to the Jew first" - consisting of both blessings and cursings, evangelism and preaching. With various stellar contributors (Darryl Bock, Arnold Fruchtenbaum, etc.) you will be hard-pressed to find a book so worth your time, outside of, of course, the Bible! While the Jew is largely ignored in evangelical churches today, this book takes a fresh look at history, exegesis, and current events regarding God's chosen people. If you ignore God's Word on any level, chaos and ignorance results in your approach to the world at large. AC Too
