En mycket intressant debatt mellan den brittiske teologen och historikern N T Wright och den Messiansk-Judiske rabbinen Mark Kinzer.
N T Wright och Mark Kinzer är två teologer som ägnat många år för att gräva djupare i det ämne de här samtalar om, nämligen hur man ska förstå vad bibeln säger om Israel och det judiska folket. De är överens om det mesta, men det finns vissa skillnader. Är dagens sekulära judar en del av förbundsfolket? Har judarna som etnisk folkgrupp och Israel som nation en speciell roll att spela i framtiden?

N. T. Wright and Mark Kinzer: A Debate on the Meaning of Israel
https://youtu.be/xDxENGsKaUQ?si=r-OfJJlbCwYl31ED
N. T. Wright and MJTI President Emeritus Mark Kinzer debate the place of non-Messianic Jews in God’s covenant, addressing two questions: Are non-messianic Jews members of God’s covenanted people? If so, do they as a people have a unique covenantal calling that distinguishes their calling from that of every other society or nation?
