Abstract

Summary Since the 1990s, the Messianic-Jewish movement has gained increasing traction in Germany. Stefanie Pfister’s article offers a brief historical overview of Jewish Christendom, and then introduces the stages of the development for Messianic-Jewish communities, as well as a description of their current community life and religious worship. In addition, areas of conflict with reference to Jewish-Christian dialogue are outlined. In conclusion, the author analyses the conversion process with reference to three case studies. The analysis is presented from a sociology of religion perspective in the context of the period of political transformation following the end of the Soviet Union.
