There is a perplexing question Christians don't usually know how to answer: Why do the Jewish people reject Christ so strongly?
In this book, Dr. Bar goes beyond his personal experiences and uses extensive research to investigate the historical, theological, cultural, and psychological factors that inhibit Jews from accepting Jesus Christ as their Messiah. He examines how Judaism, initially boring Christianity, evolved into a faith that contradicts and is hostile to Christianity.
Aimed at educating Christian believers, the book takes readers on a captivating exploration of the intricate relationship between Judaism and Christianity. This book, written from the unique perspective of an Israeli-Jewish believer in Jesus, provides invaluable insights into the reasons behind Jewish rejection and often hostility toward Jesus Christ. It helps Christians better understand the apprehension and reluctance of Jewish people toward Christianity, fostering empathy and connection and ultimately equipping Christians to share the gospel more effectively with God's chosen people.
A salient feature of the book is its unique dual perspective, thanks to the author's unique background. Dr. Eitan Bar is an Israeli-born Jewish-Christian and a descendant of Jewish Partisan Holocaust survivors. He holds the unique distinction of being the first Jewish believer in Jesus to publicly debate an Orthodox rabbi in Hebrew in Israel. With over 15 years dedicated to ministry, Bar has become renowned for his effective evangelization of Jewish people, using his impactful videos, writings, and a popular Jewish-Christian testimonial video series.
The book is divided into three main parts:
Reason #1: The Lies We Tell Ourselves
How Jesus become the best-kept secret in Judaism.
Reason #2: What Was Done to Us in Jesus's Name
Christian antisemitism & replacement theology.
Reason #3: What Christians Tell Us About Our God
Judaism continues to reject the gospel Because It Got Contaminated.
