Webinar #195: Dr Richard Harvey - The Elephant and the Ant: Why bother with Messianic Jews?

Recorded on 25 April 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Richard Harvey The Elephant and the Ant: Mutual Understanding and Blessing? explores the experiences of being a Jewish disciple of Jesus in a church that has been majority world-based for the last 1800 years. What are the biblical theological and cultural differences in understanding Yeshua (Jesus), the church, Israel, and their relationship, and how do these impact historical tensions of antisemitism and current Jewish-Christian relations? How do we express the challenges of identity and unity, particularly in the context of reconciliation, justice, and peace during the current Israel-Gaza war? Richard Harvey is a Jewish disciple of Yeshua (Jesus) who writes, researches and teaches Messianic Jewish Theology. He pioneered the London Messianic Congregation and holds a PhD from the University of Wales. He is married to Monica, also a Jewish disciple of Jesus, and they have two children and three grandchildren. Richard teaches Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies and served as Academic Dean and Director of Research at All Nations Christian College, part of the Open University, UK. He is a past President of the International Messianic Jewish Alliance. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To listen live to future ICMDA webinars, visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For Richard's blog visit https://jewinthepew.org/category/otdimjh/ Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JewinthePew
