description: Joseph Rabinowitz (1837-1899) is one of the most remarkable figures of the recent history of Jewish Christianity. In the Russian town of Kishinev he set up a congregation which is called "The Israelites of the New Covenant." As a Jew who believed in Jesus, Rabinowitz insisted on his Jewish identity; that caused some problems which Messianic Jews of our day are familiar with.In 1888 Rabinowitz said, "I have two subjects with which I am one, the Lord Jesus Christ; the other, Israel."This book gives insight into the recent history of Jewish Christianity and the controversial question of the identity of Messianic believers.
