Stones the Builders Rejected

""Mark Kinzer's essays in this collection show how both Jews who follow Jesus and gentiles who follow a Jewish messiah need to rethink together doctrines of Christ, church, and eschatology. This book continues Kinzer's contribution to biblical, doctrinal, and ecumenical theology. It is challenging, prophetic, and required reading."" --Gavin D'Costa, visiting professor of interreligious dialogue, Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas ""It is providential that the reunification of Jerusalem after two thousand years came in the same decade as the birth of a new movement of messianic Judaism, which is the necessary link between two expressions of the Messiah's Body--his gentile followers in the church and his Jewish followers in Israel. This book is essential for understanding the most exciting new chapter in the history of redemption through the mind of this most gifted thinker."" --Gerald R. McDermott, author of A New History of Redemption: The Work of Jesus the Messiah through the Millennia ""In this collection of very thoughtful essays, Mark Kinzer advances his role as the leading theologian and biblical scholar reflecting on the living reality of Messianic Judaism/Jewish Christianity. Kinzer reminds of what was lost when the 'church of the circumcised' disappeared in early Christian history and celebrates the many positive implications of its reemergence. I highly recommend this profound contribution."" ​--David P. Gushee, distinguished university professor of Christian ethics, Mercer University
