In the middle of the nineteenth century, God began to lay on the hearts of his people in the Church of Scotland a concern for the evangelisation of the Jews. The response resulted in a quarter of a million eastern European Jews finding salvation in their Messiah in the second half of the same century. John Stuart Ross, author of The Power and the Glory: John Ross and the Evangelisation of Manchuria and Korea, brings his thorough research and engrossing writing style once more to this fascinating story.

Packed with detailed history and lively biography; based on solid research; drawing out the theological implications of it all – this snapshot of a fourteen–year period in Scottish Jewish missions’ history is as relevant today as it was in the mid–nineteenth century.

It was a privilege to supervise the PhD thesis from which this book evolved, although John writes so well that I had to keep stopping myself from becoming so immersed in the story that I forgot the academic task before me!

A delightful and edifying read!

Ross’ infectious passion for Jewish evangelism will draw readers into a greater awareness of their place on the church’s radar and the obligation of the believing world to bring the good news to where it originally came from.
