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. --From publisher's description
