Overview
A Jewish convert to Catholicism examines the Christian faith as the fulfillment of Judaism. Barrack demonstrates the beautiful harmony between the Old and New Testaments, and says of the Catholic Church that it is "the Synagogue transformed by the Messiah." Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah or annointed one of God, who fulfills the mission of the Jews to prepare the world for its redemption.Editorials
New Oxford Review
From beginning to end, Barrack's zest for the Catholic Church shines through, as does his love for his Jewish brethren. He aptly demonstrates that the Jew who becomes Catholic is not giving up anything, rather he is claiming his rightful inheritance and 'completing' his own Judaism. Second Exodus is a romance with our Shepherd, and Catholic teaching is carefully placed within its Jewish setting like a diamond in a wedding ring.Book Details
