Fellow Travellers

Peter Lawrence’s Fellow Travellers offers insights I have not found elsewhere, a fascinating exploration of the experience of followers of Jesus from three neighbouring but distinct religious communities in the Holy Land. Lawrence adds significantly to our understanding of ‘in Messiah’ identity and identity formation in communitarian cultures, an innovative and welcome study.

Church, Ummah, or Somewhere in Between?





This ground-breaking comparative study of Messianic Jews, Arab Evangelicals and Muslim-Background Believers in the Holy Land not only compares and contrasts the experiences of faith and identity formation amongst these groups, but also provides a wealth of materials, resources and insights for anyone wishing to understand and engage in ministry in this challenging context. Peter Lawrence’s work brings cutting edge research of the highest standard to the field and is strongly recommended.
