Mark S. Kinzer is Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Zera Avraham in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and President Emeritus of Messianic Jewish Theological Institute. He is the author of Postmissionary Messianic Judaism (2005), Israel's Messiah and the People of God (2011), and Searching Her Own Mystery (2015).
"Jerusalem Crucified, Jerusalem Risen is a careful but exciting
reading of the NT through the lens of Luke-Acts . . . Kinzer shows
that it is the principal link between the gospels and the letters
of the NT, and that it unveils the Jewish-Gentile admixture of the
early church in ways that answer fundamental questions about
Christology, eschatology, ecclesiology, ethics, and missiology.
Readers of this book will discover ways of seeing Jesus and the
early church that will set all of Christian theology in a new
light."
--Gerald R. McDermott, Anglican Chair of Divinity, Beeson Divinity
School
"Kinzer's work is ground breaking. He focuses especially on Luke
and Acts to show that Jerusalem then, now, and in the future is
central to the hope of the Jewish messiah, Jesus--and thus to his
ecclesial body, both Jew and gentile. The good news is
geographical. Kinzer develops a new form of Christ-centred Zionism,
eschewing millenarianism, and bloody battle scenarios. His work is
changing and challenging theological maps for Jewish and gentile
Christians."
--Gavin D'Costa, University of Bristol
"This is a fascinating book. Kinzer makes the case that Israel is
so central to the gospel message that removing her from it, and its
hope, seriously dilutes what the gospel is about. With many fresh
takes on passages, he opens up this issue for renewed discussion.
It is a conversation well worth having."
--Darrell Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary
