Description
The Messianic Kingdom of Israel by Lawrence Feingold
“This book grew out of a lecture series entitled: Mystery of Israel and the Church: Themes of the Kingdom, organized by the Association of Hebrew Catholics and held in the fall of 2008 in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, Missouri. Three chapters (7, 12, and 14) have been added from subsequent lecture series on St. Paul and the early Fathers.
“The principal focus of the lectures is the Kingdom of God that Christ established in the Catholic Church and the relationship between Israel and the Church in God’s plan. In our time many Jews are coming to recognize Jesus as the Messiah while not yet recognizing the Catholic Church as the Kingdom founded by Him, in which the believers have the fullness of access to Him. Indeed, Jesus cannot be fully understood or embraced apart from His Church, prefigured by Biblical Israel.” [From the Preface}
