Course Description

Messianic Jewish Theology is a comprehensive presentation of a Messianic Jewish perspective on Biblical Theology (the theology that arises from close attention to Biblical writings in their distinctive context of each author). It especially deals with the issue of greatest concern to Messianic Jews, including the nature of law and grace, the call to Jewish life, the meaning of Torah, the evaluation of Jewish tradition, the nature of the Christian churches and their relationship to Messianic Jews, and a Jewish understanding of the last days.

We will evaluate Messianic Jewish congregations and the issues of Jewish and Gentile participation in such congregations. This will also include evaluation of Mark Kinser's concept of Bi-lateral ecclesiology.

The course will evaluate and incorporate recent scholarship. In addition, we shall give broad outlines for Messianic Jewish practice.
