Useful books / journals and web-sites that relate to the Messianic Movement

[Ken Rank]

Are there any videos like this?

There are some... and there will be more soon. In my previous post I mentioned Hanoch Young (Orthodox Jew) and myself writing together. We have also done a 50 minute video on the future reunification of all of Israel. We will be doing more and on my end, we just completed a studio in a building our congregation owns. Large green screen, a black screen.. and plans to do a bunch of neat stuff. One of them, a 2 minute weekly show called, "a Rank Moment," where yours truly will share on one topic per week. I have 28 topics set aside to cover already.

I have been reading "The Way of Life: Didache: A New Translation and Messianic Jewish Commentary" and it is highly enlightening on what the early church would have taught for Gentiles to follow and be bound to. It is a First Fruits of Zion publication and well worth the $35 price tag. I believe it is full of valuable information on how we (gentiles) should practice MJ today.

I commend reading these books, journals and web-sites. I do so only because they give a good, wide-ranging overview of the Messianic Movement and its detractors. The two lists are equal in stature - it is just not possible for me to put the whole lot into alphabetical order!

I do not necessarily agree with everything that is written!

Sefaria has updated it's library now and many parts that were waiting for translation have been translated.

Go to Google play (and iPhone equivalent), to download the full library (it doesn't take up much space). Most of it is now bi-lingual - at least the parts we are likely to want to read.

I recently found a book I have enjoyed more than any I have read in a long time. "When A Jew Rules the World: What the Bible Really Says about Israel in the Plan of God " by Joel Richardson. If only every Christian would read and understand this book!
