Behind the polished newsletters, high-production videos, and the hundreds of millions of dollars raised from Christians worldwide to "convert the Jewish people" lies a sobering reality: 99% of Jews still reject the gospel, and among the small fraction who initially respond, nearly 90% walk away within a year.
In this book, we will uncover the deeper reasons Jews today don't believe in Jesus-and reveal the most overlooked, yet most crucial, factors driving this heartbreaking outcome.
Aimed at educating Christian believers, this book takes readers on a captivating exploration of the complex relationship between Judaism and Christianity. Written from the unique perspective of an Israeli-Jewish believer in Jesus, it offers invaluable insights into the reasons behind Jewish rejection and, at times, hostility toward Christ and Christians. By fostering a deeper understanding of the apprehensions and historical wounds that have shaped Jewish perceptions of Christianity, Dr. Bar equips readers with the tools to be better ambassadors to the Jewish people.
What sets this book apart is the author's distinctive dual perspective. Dr. Eitan Bar is an Israeli-born Jewish believer in Jesus and a descendant of Jewish Partisan Holocaust survivors. He holds the remarkable distinction of being the first Jewish believer in Jesus to publicly debate an Orthodox rabbi in Hebrew in Israel.
The book is divided into three main parts, introducing the three core reasons Jews reject Jesus:
-
Reason #1: The Lies We Tell Ourselves
How Jesus Became the Best-Kept Secret in Judaism.
-
Reason #2: What Was Done to Us in Jesus' Name
Christian Antisemitism & Replacement Theology.
-
Reason #3: What Christians Tell Us About Our God
Judaism Continues to Reject the Gospel Because It Got Contaminated.
