An editorial in the “Lutherische Monatshefte” [Lutheran Monthly] of June 26, 1964, which I have only had a chance to read a few days ago while on vacation, prompts me to once again revisit our recent correspondence on the issue of “service to Israel”/ the so-called “mission to the Jews” [Judenmission]. The article by Mr. Paul Reinhardt struck me for two reasons. Firstly, I learned from it that the justification for a mission to the Jews can be refuted theologically as well. Secondly, the author’s position, which I consider extreme and concerning, confirmed me in my opinion as I briefly outlined it to you back in April. When Mr. Reinhardt writes, the mission to the Jews was about “saving Israel”, I have to say emphatically that this phrasing appears extremely overbearing to me. I have no doubt that the author is writing on the basis of careful theological consideration, however, the impression he gives is nonetheless outrageous.
