5 out of 5 stars An Amazing Reminder to God's People-the Jews!   October 24, 2005
  6 out of 6 found this review helpful

Messianic Jews will be refreshed and find much food for thought in Telchin's book. He has a unique perspective and offers insights into God's divine purpose and will for His Beloved, Israel. I read this book from cover to cover in one day, it was simply delicious reading and reminded me of the power of God to save souls, Jews and Gentiles alike. This work is also extraordinarily easy for the layman to comprehend. Terrific book!

Mr. Telchin's book is a sad read, as it promotes the standard supercessionist replacement theology that the Gentile church fathers began. Bottom line, if God abandoned His promises to Israel, in any way, Christians have no hope for God's faithfulness to them.


5 out of 5 stars Truly an eye-opener for Jew and Gentile!   July 20, 2000

As a Jew, I believe Abandoned portrays a very accurate picture of how Jewish people were misled regarding the Messiah. When I see such vacant arguments presented by others such as "A Jewish person would not believe in Jesus", it is clear how desperately a book like this is needed.


1 out of 5 stars who is a jew?   April 28, 2000
  24 out of 62 found this review helpful

one of the few things upon which Jews across the spectrum from the most orthodox to the most liberal can agree is that a person who believes in Jesus - that this man is the Messiah - such a person is NOT a Jew.

I fear that sincere, good-hearted people may be misled by a book such as this one. A Messianic "Jew" may know technical details of Jewish practice, may even have been a practising Jew at some point in his/her life - but the perspective of such a believer should not be mistaken for insight into Judaism or Jews who maintain their belief in their tradition. Such a person certainly has a faith tradition, but it has nothing to do with Judaism.

One should always do one's best to behave with tolerance and understanding to all of differing faith traditions. What a book like this perpetuates is NEITHER tolerance NOR understanding, but rather a total lack of respect for Jews and Judaism. What I find particularly preposterous is that a book expressing what appears to be a strain of Christian theology is to be found in this Amazon catalogue when browsing in the Judaism section. For Messianic "Jews" and those interested in their beliefs this book may be one you wish to read. For those with a genuine interest in Jews and Judaism, may I suggest you look for books by authors such as Eugene Borowitz, Martin Buber, Mordechai Kaplan, Louis Jacobs, Rachel Adler, Maurice Lamm and Abraham J. Heschel just for starters!


1 out of 5 stars Just a pat on the back for Christian beliefs   September 14, 1999

Fine if you are a non-jew. However, the Torah clearly defines the role of the Jewish people in this world as handed down by Hashem at mt sinai: Teshuva - To repair the world. To do mitvahs and be a light unto nations. Read a book or books from a real Jewish point of view, eg, The Committed Life by Rebetzin Esther Jungreis
