What happened to Jewish missions in Europe during the turbulent first half of the twentieth century? How did two world wars, rising antisemitism, the Holocaust, and the Communist Revolution shape the efforts of Christians sharing the gospel with Jewish people?
In this episode of Bible and Theology Matters, Dr. Paul Weaver speaks with Dr. Mitch Glaser, president of Chosen People Ministries, about his book Jewish Missions in the Shadow of the Holocaust. Drawing on his doctoral research, Dr. Glaser explores the history of Protestant missions among Jewish communities in continental Europe from 1900 to 1950.
Their conversation traces the changing landscape of Jewish life and Christian mission in Eastern and Western Europe, examining the impact of persecution, Zionism, the two world wars, the Holocaust, and the spread of communism. They also consider the missionaries and Jewish believers who continued their work amid tremendous suffering and political upheaval.
This episode offers an important look at an often-overlooked chapter of Jewish history, Christian mission history, and the history of Jewish evangelism—and invites Christians to reflect on the Jewish people, the gospel, and the Church's responsibility to understand this history.
