Page "Messianic Judaism" Paragraph 1

Messianic Judaism is a syncretic religious movement that arose in the 1960s and 70s.

It blends evangelical Christian theology with elements of religious Jewish practice and terminology.

Messianic Judaism generally holds that Jesus is both the Jewish Messiah and " God the Son " ( one person of the Trinity ), though some within the movement do not hold to Trinitarian beliefs.

With few exceptions, both the Tanakh and the New Testament are believed to be authoritative and divinely inspired scripture.
