ABSTRACT
The fact that the religion of the Jews is that of an underprivileged group makes it natural to suspect that those who leave it to enter the church of the dominant group are not uninfluenced by considerations of self-advancement. Experience, alas, sometimes confirms this suspicion, as shown by the fact that it is occasionally expressed by good Christians as well as by Jews. Dr. Levertoff differs from most Christian missionaries to the Jews in recognizing that the ordinary individual conversion of a Jew to Christianity leads him to break with -his people and with his religious past and in this condition he generally brings little to the Christian church. Canon Goudge considers the Jews “still the most gifted people of the world”. The mass conversion of the Jews to Christianity cannot come before those who call themselves Christians practise more of the brotherly love preached by Jesus and the prophets before him.
