ABSTRACT

Using primary archival and other contemporary sources, this article explores the relationship between the Christian mission and Israel as a modern Jewish nation-state from its establishment in 1948 until 1965, when section 13a of the Legal Capacity and Guardianship Law, 5722–1962, was enacted in the Israeli Parliament (Knesset). Since the rebirth of the State of Israel, a number of Christian Protestant Churches and missionary organisations have worked to convert Jews to Christianity. The State of Israel opposed such proselytising yet wished to maintain its commitment to freedom of religion as stated in its Declaration of Independence. Furthermore, it did not wish to damage foreign relations with the Christian world.

摘要

本文利用原始档案资料和其他当代资料，探讨了基督教传教团与以色列作为一个现代犹太民族国家的关系，从其1948年成立到1965年，即《法律行为能力和监护法》（5722-1962年）第13a条在以色列议会（以色列议会）中制定。自以色列国重生以来，许多基督教新教教会和宣教组织都在努力使犹太人convert依基督教。以色列国反对这种宗教化，但希望保持其《独立宣言》中所规定的对宗教自由的承诺。此外，它不希望破坏与基督教世界的外交关系。
