:''Not to be confused with Moses Rosen, Chief Rabbi of Romania'' Martin "Moishe" Rosen (April 12, 1932 – May 19, 2010)〔(Jews for Jesus founder dies ''Baptist Press'' )〕 was the founder and former Executive Director of Jews for Jesus, a Christian missionary organization that focuses on evangelism to Jewish people. ==Biography== Rosen was born in Kansas City, Missouri,〔 the son of Ben Rosen and Rose Baker. He was raised in Denver, Colorado. According to Rosen, his mother's parents were "Reform Jews from Austria" and his paternal grandfather was an Orthodox Jew. Although his father regularly attended an Orthodox synagogue,〔(Moishe Rosen: Founder of Jews for Jesus )〕 Rosen describes him as irreligious and viewing religion as a "racket".〔''Jews for Jesus'', Moishe Rosen with William Proctor, Old Tappan, NJ: Fleming H. Revell, 1974, p.21 Rosen sums up his religious training by saying, "My father's belief – 'religion is a racket'."〕 Rosen married Ceil Starr on August 18, 1950, and they became Christians in 1953. After graduating from Northeastern Bible College, Rosen made a commitment to be a missionary to Jews. He was ordained as a Conservative Baptist minister in 1957. He led Hebrew Christian congregations and worked for 17 years for the American Board of Missions to the Jews (ABMJ),〔 (now called Chosen People Ministries), with the aim of attracting converts. Beginning in 1970, he founded Hineni Ministries under the umbrella of ABMJ, later to become Jews for Jesus. In 1973, he left the employment of ABMJ to incorporate Jews for Jesus as a separate mission. In 1986, he received an honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree from Western Conservative Baptist Seminary in Portland, Oregon. He stepped down from his position as Jews for Jesus' Executive Director in 1996, and continued to be employed as a staff missionary, remaining one of fifteen board members until his death in May 2010. In 1997, the Conservative Baptist Association named him a "Hero of the Faith."〔 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「Moishe Rosen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
