Dr. Brian J. Crawford is the Director of Digital Evangelism for Chosen People Ministries, which has been evangelizing Jewish people for more than 130 years. He is also the author of The Scandal of a Divine Messiah: A Response to Maimonidean and Kabbalistic Challenges to the Incarnation.In 2005, a Jewish man on a Tel Aviv beach told Brian he had no business explaining the Hebrew Bible to Jews. That challenge sent a structural engineer from Southern California on a 20-year journey into the heart of Orthodox Brooklyn — learning Hebrew, studying the Talmud, and building relationships with one of the most unreached people groups in America.👉 Biblical mentorship for men: https://willspencer.co/mentorshipTopics DiscussedHow a stranger's challenge launched Brian's calling to Jewish missionsWhat the Talmud actually is and why most Christians misunderstand itThe lost history of Jewish sub-denominations within Protestant churchesHow 20th century liberalism killed Jewish evangelismWhy becoming a Christian historically meant dying as a JewMartin Luther's antisemitism vs. Puritan philosemitismWhy Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn are an unreached people groupThis is part one of two.
