Maggie McKee-Huey’s “The Role and Impact of Jewish Evangelism in Nineteenth Century Great Britain: The London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews,” provides insight to causes of the movement of Christian evangelism amongst the Jewish population in nineteenth century London. Breaking down barriers of prejudice and anti-Semitism, the London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews (LSPCJ) radically transformed the negative perception the Anglican Church had of the Jewish people; igniting a burning passion to spread the Gospel to Jews in London. McKee-Huey’s sophisticated analysis of the history of the LSPCJ, and its impact on both the Jewish and Anglican communities, creates a solid foundation for comprehending the Zionist and other later movements to convert Jews in London. –Brooke Hamilton
