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!
