Arnold Genekowitsch Fruchtenbaum (born September 26, 1943) is the founder and director of Ariel Ministries, an organization which prioritizes evangelization of Jews in the effort to bring them to the view that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. He lectures and travels widely. ==Biography== Fruchtenbaum was born in 1943 in Siberia, Russia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Der Messias Tempel )〕 The family escaped to Germany in 1947 after his father had been falsely accused of being a Nazi spy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Antioch Bible Church )〕 Arnold and the family traveled through Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and West Germany before settling in first New York and then Los Angeles. At age 13, Fruchtenbaum came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah. His father opposed this and forbade him to read the Bible, attend meetings, or otherwise meet with Messianic Jews. The family moved to Los Angeles in 1958. After being forced to leave the family home, in 1962 he began college education at Shelton College in New Jersey. He moved to Cedarville College in Ohio, where he graduated with a BA degree in Hebrew and Greek in 1966. He then moved to Israel, where he studied archeology, ancient history, historical geography, and Hebrew at the American Institute of Holy Land Studies and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Pasche Institute )〕 During this time, he witnessed the Six Day War in 1967. Later that year, Fruchtenbaum returned to the U.S. and entered Dallas Theological Seminary to continue his studies in Hebrew and the Old Testament. He also began working as a missionary with American Board of Missions to the Jews (ABMJ; today, Chosen People Ministries). Fruchtenbaum was married in 1968 to Mary Ann Morrow, a graduate of Gordon College, Massachusetts. Three years later (1971), he graduated with a Master of Theology degree from Dallas. He and his wife then moved to Israel and settled in Jerusalem to work with the local church and to train young Israeli Jewish believers for Christian service. They left Israel in 1973. During the two years following, Fruchtenbaum served as a minister and as editor of "The Chosen People," a monthly publication . This was with ABMJ in New Jersey. Then in 1976 he joined the staff of The Christian Jew Foundation as associate director. Fruchtenbaum originally was of the view that Jewish converts should attempt to integrate with local Gentile congregations, but later came to regard separate Jewish congregations as valid.〔Introduction to New and Alternative Religions in America ed. Eugene V. Gallagher,W. Michael Ashcraft - article Messianic Judaism - p213〕 In Messianic Jewish congregations, Dr. Fruchtenbaum, has written that the leader should not have the title 'Rabbi'.〔Stern, David H. (1992). Jewish New Testament Commentary. Clarksville, MD: Jewish New Testament Publications. p.68. ISBN 965-359-008-1〕 At this time he struggled with the issue of discipleship and perceived a need for biblical and theological training for Jewish Messianic believers. This was discussed with other leaders and this turned into the ideas for Ariel Ministries. Late 1977, Ariel Ministries was established. Fruchtenbaum is the founding director of Ariel Ministries and continues in this role and as a speaker at conferences. He travels internationally throughout Europe, Israel and the United States. This has given him a broad knowledge of the messianic movement. He has completed his doctoral dissertation, ''Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology'' at New York University in 1989.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Zondervan Publishers )〕 Fruchtenbaum has published a number of books. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arnold Fruchtenbaum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
