    Hardcover. Zustand: near fine. First edition. Octavo. vi, 285, (1)pp. Index. Pictorial buckram, lavender spine lettered in white & black Illustrated with a map of Hebrew Christian institutions in London. A near fine, but ex-library copy with a minimal rubber library stamp on title page and at bottom edge of text block. In nineteenth-century Britain the majority of Jewish believers in Christ worshipped in Gentile churches. Some attained ethnic and institutional independence. A few debated the implications of incorporating into their worship the observance of Jewish tradition, and advocated the theological and liturgical independence of Hebrew Christianity, characterised by opponents as the "scandal of particularity". Previous scholarship has documented several Hebrew Christian initiatives but this monograph breaks new ground by identifying almost forty discrete institutions as components of a century-long movement. The book analyses the major pioneers, institutions and ideologies of this movement and recounts how, through identity negotiation, Hebrew Christians - and also their Gentile supporters - prepared the way for the development in the twentieth century of Messianic Judaism. (Publisher) Contents: Literary responses to Hebrew Christianity -- The genesis of the modern Hebrew Christian movement -- The Hebrew Christian movement during the "palmy days" of the London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews -- The influence of the Hebrew Christian Alliance -- Responses to the "Herzl of Jewish Christianity." Volume 128 of Brill's "Numen Book Series: Studies in the History of Religions.".
