Christian Jews and Jewish Christians in the 17th Century

  • Chapter
Jewish Christians and Christian Jews

Abstract

Christian Jews are not just Jews who have Christmas trees in the house in late December each year, and Jewish Christians are not just Christians who like pastrami and gefilte fish. Nor are they just the Jews for Jesus, or the occasional Christian convert to Judaism, nor are they people who convert from Judaism to Christianity and become total Christians, nor are they conversos, forced converts to Christianity from Judaism, who reverted to Judaism.
