In This Issue...

Jerusalem, Jesus, Jewish Roots, and More John D. Garr, Ph.D.
Editorial: This issue is eclectic in nature with a variety of materials on different subjects that relate to our Christian heritage in Judaism and to our relationship with the International Jewish community and the nation of Israel.

Jerusalem--World Capital for the Messianic Age Dr. John D. Garr
With three thousand years of history as the capital of the Davidic kingdom, Jerusalem is now preparing for the beginning of the Sabbatical Millennium when it will once again be world capital for the Messianic Age. What can we do to prepare for that day?

Jewish Voices in Christian-Jewish Dialogue Rev. Isaac Rottenberg
Christians need a comprehensive understanding of the varied thinking of the international Jewish community with regard to the possibilities of interfaith dialogue. What can we do to be more effective in our interaction with our Jewish friends?

How God Sees Tithing Dr. Karl D. Coke
Since the time of Abraham, tithing has been an important feature of the Hebrew faith. From Judaism, Christianity received the blessing of this opportunity to trust God in giving. Is there a more Biblical way in which we can practice tithing?

Returning to the Judaic Roots of the Christian Faith Dr. William P. Cheshire
There are many outstanding benefits for Christians of every denominational persuasion when they embrace the Jewish roots of their apostolic faith. What can we do to help our fellow believers share in this rich Biblical legacy?

"Re-placement" or "In-placement" Theology Dr. Howard Morgan
One of the most perverse of heresies that has infiltrated the Christian church has been supersessionism, which teaches that Israel and Judaism have been replaced by the church and Christianity. What can we do to replace this heresy with the truth of inplacement?

God Causes Us to Cross Over Dr. E. William Bean
When we pass from the world of darkness into the kingdom of God, we follow in the footsteps of our ancient spiritual father, Abraham, who heard God's call, obeyed, and was justified by his faith. Have we, then, become spiritual Hebrews?

Benching and the Early Christian Meal Dr. Douglas H. Wheeler
Since every aspect of Jewish life was considered sacred, we should not be surprised that the table in every home was considered to be an altar and meal time a cause for celebrating the name of God. What can we learn from this Jewish practice?

We Are Family, We Are One! Dr. Leon Mohammed (to be posted in the future)
Geneticists have discovered that the family of mankind is more closely related than most people had thought possible. How can we help others learn the Biblical lesson that God has created all men of one blood--that we are you, and you are we?

Spiritual Turmoil in Israel Rabbi Chaim Richman
Israel is faced with the spiritual dilemma that is confronting most of the western world today--the increasing secularization of society. Is Israel following the example of the world in embracing Hellenic concepts, and what will be the outcome?
