| Summary: | Most American Jews view faith in Yeshua (Jesus) to be antithetical to Jewish identity and community survival. Contradicting this perception during the past three decades, Jewish believers have been gathering in Messianic congregations constituted to sustain and to communicate Jewish identity and Messianic (Yeshua-centered) faith. The continued maturation and multiplication of such congregations require that sound principles of contextualization be identified, implemented, and tested in the context. Against the background of a layperson's testimony highlighting the need for such congregations, this article presents a collection of such principles currently being advocated and tested among Messianic Jews. |
