Millions of African Christians who consider themselves genealogical descendants of one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel-in other words, Jewish by ethnicity, but Christian in terms of faith-are increasingly choosing a religious affiliation that honors both of these identities. Their choice: Messianic Judaism. Messianic adherents emulate the Christians of the first century, observing the Jewish commandments while also affirming the salvational grace of Yeshua (Jesus). As the first comparative ethnography of such "fulfilled Jews" on the African continent, this book presents case studies that will enrich our understanding of one of global Christianity's most overlooked iterations.

Juifs du secret, espagnols et portugais, convertis de force à la foi catholique à partir de la fin du XIVe siècle, les marranes ont marqué de leur empreinte l'histoire du Nouveau Monde. Parmi ceux qui, fuyant l'Europe, ont trouvé refuge en Amérique, parmi ces voyageurs incertains abordant plein d'espoir les côtes du Brésil ou du Pérou, il y eut des érudits et des hommes d'affaires, des médecins et des hommes de loi, des ouvriers et des artisans. En établissant des réseaux de solidarité transcontinentale, ils ont contribué à la création d'une économie ouvrant les voies à la modernité. A la fois juifs et chrétiens, ils ont développé des formes nouvelles de pratiques religieuses et de pensée conduisant à une vision du monde moins dogmatique, plus tolérante. Du martyr Francisco Maldonado de Silva au trafiquant d'esclaves Manuel Bautista Perez, du poète Pablo de Santa Maria au diplomate et historien Alfonso de Caratagena, voici retracés ces itinéraires singuliers aux prises avec l'Inquisition et la logique des bûchers.

The mystery of lost, apocryphal Jewish-Christian gospels has intrigued scholars for centuries. Scholars have also debated whether the Ebionites with their low Christology or the more “orthodox” Nazarenes are the genuine successors of the early Jerusalem church. This book provides a fresh assessment of the patristic sources and the scholarly theories on the number and contents of Jewish-Christian gospels. A new approach, the study of indicators of Jewish-Christian profiles, shows the artificial nature of the church fathers’ heretical discourse, bringing forth previously neglected connections between various Jewish-Christian movements. This book also challenges the widely accepted theory of three Jewish-Christian gospels bringing the Gospel of the Hebrews closer to its synoptic cousins—not, however, as a witness of the earliest Jesus traditions but as a post-synoptic composition.
