  • The Herzl of Jewish Christianity
    MISHKAN A Forum on the Gospel and the Jewish People “HISTORY OF JEWISH CHRISTIANS AND MISSIONS” ISSUE 14 / 1991 General Editor: Ole Chr. M. Kvarme United Christian Council in Israel · Jerusalem All Rights Reserved. For permissions please contact [email protected] For subscriptions and back issues visit www.mishkanstore.org {Inside front cover} Editorial Jewish Christians and Missions in the Western Diaspora "Not all of us view Jewish missions as something negative," a Jewish professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem stated some years ago. He added, "We remember missionaries in Eastern Europe during the Second World War. Risking their own lives, they did everything they could to save Jewish lives." In this issue, Magne Solheim and Frederick Metzger provide some chapters from this courageous history of Jewish Christians and missionaries during the cataclysm of the Holocaust. Today churches and Christian societies are reconsidering the relationship between the Church and the Jewish people. In this debate, however, too often the history of Jewish missions is falsely identified with the anti-Jewish and anti-Semitic trends in Western Christendom. The fast that Jewish missions in the last two hundred years have been 1) a driving force in the positive rethinking of the Jewish role in salvation history and 2) a stronghold for solidarity with and love for the people of God, is too often forgotten. In this issue of Mishkan, we have the privilege of presenting important contributions to the history of Jewish Christians and Jewish missions in the western Diaspora, particularly in Europe. This heritage is essential when we consider the future of the Jewish people and of Christian-Jewish relations in the West.

  • The Confessional Lutheran Emigrations from Prussia and Saxony Around 1839
    The Confessional Lutheran Emigrations From Prussia And Saxony Around 1839 [Since 1989 is the sesquicentennial of these emigrations, the Quarterly is pleased to present this study of the movement to which not a few WELS members and congregations trace their roots. Further installments will follow in subsequent issues.] Martin O. Westerhaus The year 1989 marks the 150th anniversary of the arrival in America of two rather large companies of confessional Lutheran emigrants. In 1839 about one thousand emigrants from Prussia settled in and around Buffalo, New York, and Milwaukee and Freistadt in Wisconsin. That same year approximately eight hundred emigrants from Saxony settled in St. Louis and Perry County, Missouri. Among other things, these two groups had in common that they were strict, confessional Lutherans. They had left their homelands because of conflicts with their governments and because they had come to the conviction that it was necessary for them to leave in order to preserve their historic Lutheran faith. In the case of the Prussians, several other larger and smaller companies followed them for the same reason. The total number of these confessional Lutherans in these emigration companies is estimated to have I totaled between five and seven thousand people. In several ways they were, in spite of their size, insignificantly small groups. Whether one compare them to the total population of Germany at the time or only to the total of Germans who emigrated for all causes, their numbers were not large. They even constituted only a minor portion of all the confessional Lutherans who were protesting the religious situations in Prussia and Saxony at the time.
