Counter-missionary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Counter-missionary is a term used mainly but not exclusively to describe Jewish organizations who seek to prevent Jews from converting to Christianity as well as seeking to bring Jews back to the faith after they have converted[1]. These groups can be found within all Jewish denominations.

Some modern counter-missionary material can be traced to a 16th century polemic written by the Karaite Isaac Troki (died 1593), entitled Chizzuk Emunah (Hebrew חזוק 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.
