The following is a college paper that Lt. Maggie Willetts, USN, wrote for an undergraduate class called New Religious Movements at the University of Oklahoma (Honors 3993), where she addressed and summarized the history and development of modern Messianic Judaism. The two primary sources employed by her were Dan Cohn-Sherbok, ed., Messianic Judaism (London and New York: Continuum, 2000) and David H. Stern, Messianic Judaism: A Modern Movement With An Ancient Past (Clarksville, MD: Jewish New Testament Publications, 2007), which are likely books that many of you have already read or encountered at some point or another.
