Director’s Letter: The Vision: Messianic Judaism for All Nations

Reader Feedback
Read some of the very interesting and encouraging stories shared by many of our readers from around the globe.
The Original Vision of Messianic Judaism
How can the vision of the original pioneers of Messianic Judaism inform our current vision? This is the topic that D. Thomas Lancaster expands on as he looks at the differences between Messianic Judaism and Hebrew Christianity, and explores the various worldviews of early Messianic Jewish pioneers.
All Nations Shall Come
In this article Toby Janicki explores the role of Messianic Gentiles in preparing for the return of the Messiah, the special relationship that Messianic Gentiles have with Israel, and importantly with their Messianic Jewish brothers.
Radial Ecclesiology
In this article D. Thomas Lancaster aims to provide an ecclesiological explanation for the concept of Messianic Judaism for All Nations — the idea that Messianic Judaism should be understood as a broad religious practice with praxis for both Jewish and Gentile practitioners rather than an exclusively national or ethnic expression of Christian faith.
Hashkafah and Halachah
Where does Messianic Judaism fit in? Is it Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, or other? Are there too many conflicts between Messianic Judaism and these major streams of Judaism for it to ever be accepted into the larger Jewish world?
Messianic Judaism and the Oral Torah
What is the place of the Oral Torah in a Messianic Jewish worldview. In this article Jeremiah Michael takes a look at the authority of the Oral Torah within Judaism, and whether this should have any role in forming a Messianic Jewish hashkafah?
Messianic Luminaries: Patriots and Quislings
