In a past blog article I wrote about five kinds of Hebrew Catholics. Richard Harvey in 2009 published a book called "Mapping Messianic Jewish Theology" in which he listed eight kinds of Messianic Jews who have or are developing their own kind of Messianic Jewish theology.

They are:

1. Jewish Christianity [represented by Baruch Maoz]

2. Dispensational Hebrew Christianity [represented by Arnold Fruchtenbaum]

3. Israeli National and Restorationist [represented by Gershon Nerel]

4. New Testament Halakah [represented by Dan Juster and David Stern]

5. Traditional Judaism and the Messiah [represented by Michael Schiffman, John Fischer and David Friedman]

6. Postmissionary Messianic Judaism [represented by Mark Kinzer, Rich Nichol and Tsvi Sadan]

7.

A recent article, by a journalist who writes for the 'St Louis Dispatch', on the Association of Hebrew Catholics and their upcoming conference was posted on the Huffington Post. As usual there are a group of people interested in misrepresenting the Hebrew Catholic movement. The journalist writes as if the AHC is a group just started in St Louis in the last four years. It also speaks about the conference as the first national one.
