Matthew Gunia’s Reviews > Christ on the Jewish Road > Status Update

Social justice in light of Communism and Capitalism; love for enemies; analysis of a sanctified life. Ends on an optimistic note about the great task of Jewish evanglism, the blessings God has given the world through the Jews, and his hope that Jews will greatly strengthen the Church.

On Wurmbrand's Hebrew-Christian congregation sheltering Germans as they retreated. Harsh critique of a book by Klausner. Recounts a conversation he had with an unbeliever and poor decisions he made during talk.

Conversation with an anti-Semite on a train car full of Rabbis. Conversation in a prison cell with an anti-Semite guard and a radical proponent of an Israeli state.

Efforts of Jewish Christians to convert anti-Semites; Memories of Christian Jews who suffered martyrdom; arguments Wurmbrand presented for Jesus' Resurrection; arguing rationally for the virgin birth; condemnation of historical-critical theology; implications for believing that the Church is the Body of Christ.

Recounts memories of other Jewish Christians he knew in Romania, especially their conversions and personal missionary activity. Interestingly, draws a false dichotomy between Baptism and love. Writes about his Baptism and his wife's Baptism. Still devotional in tone.

Devotional in tone. Wurmbrand, an anarchist Romanian Jew recounts his slow et earnest conversion to Christ. Conversations with rabbis and Christian pastors (both good and bad) recounted. Lots of Luther quotes. Although he considers himself a Lutheran pastor, he advocates post-denominational fellowship in all things. Strong emphasis on love, missionary effots, and the freedom given by Christ.
