THE STORY OF ONE OF THE EARLIEST "HEBREW CHRISTIANS", May 2 2011
By Steven H. Propp - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Joseph Rabinowitz & The Messianic Movement (Paperback)
Kai Kjaer-Hansen "is the International Coordinator of the Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism. He ... served as a pastor in Jerusalem."Joseph Rabinowitz (1837-1899) set up in a Russian town a congregation which he called "The Israelites of the New Covenant." Thus, he was a forerunner of the modern "Messianic Jewish" movement.
The author writes in the Introduction that Rabinowitz was "a Russian Jew, who in 1882 traveled to Palestine to look into the possibility of a Jewish settlement there. But he returned to Russia with a new-found faith: that Jesus was the Jews' brother and Messiah."
Here are some quotations from the book:
"It may seem rather finicky to wish to decide whether Rabinowitz had his New Testament with him or not that evening (of his conversion)... most evidence indicates that his New Testament remained in his lodgings on that particular evening. So we are justified in being critically wary of those accounts which turn Rabinowitz into a seeking pilgrim. They represent the pious embellishments of later times." (Pg. 21)
"Rabinowitz always used the Hebrew name 'Yeshua' for Jesus when writing Hebrew, and never 'Yeshu,' which in large parts of the Jewish tradition is taken as a pejorative name which is only used of Jesus of Nazareth." (Pg. 117)
"It is first and foremost these (Seven) articles (of faith) who show Rabinowitz's lasting basis of faith and enduring view of Jesus, not the phrase 'our brother Jesus.'" (Pg. 121)
"After the service, when he noticed that the samovar was lighted in Rabinowitz's home, he was about to say, 'Excuse me, but isn't it the Sabbath?' The words were not spoken, because he observed Rabinowitz lighting up a cigarette! (Making fire on a Sabbath is of course forbidden by Jewish tradition.)" (Pg. 149)
"It may be asserted with assurance that Rabinowitz was not bribed into 'changing' his faith. But later he was given money from abroad for his work of leading other Jews to faith in Jesus." (Pg. 160)
"(Rabinowitz) did not escape accusations of a personal kind for the way he spent the money he received from abroad." (Pg. 168)
