Counter-Missionary

(Redirected from Anti-Missionary)

Counter-Missionaries are Jews who defend Judaism against the Christian claims that Jesus is the Messiah, and comprise members from all Jewish sects. Modern Counter-Missionary activity is in direct response to organizations such as Jews for Jesus, which are involved with the Hebrew Christianity movement, and spend over 1 billion dollars each year in attempts to convert Jews.

Some modern Counter-Missionary material can be traced to a medieval polemic written by a Karaite, Isaac Troki (d. 1593), entitled חיזוק אמונה (Faith Strengthened), which was effective enough that it was later translated into Latin under the name of 'The Fiery Darts of Satan' - despite the fact that it had never been published at the time.
