More about the book

Focusing on the lives of three Jewish believers in Jesus before World War I, the book delves into their unique interpretations of faith and identity. Rudolf Hermann Gurland, Christian Theophilus Lucky, and Isaac Lichtenstein, all with rabbinic backgrounds, navigate their dual identities through their relationships with Jewish and Christian traditions. The study analyzes their connections to both communities and explores how they transcended simplistic notions of identity, offering insights into the complexities of faith and belonging within their historical context.
