| - Jewish Christians (sometimes called also Hebrew Christians or Christian Jews) or Messianic Jew is a term with two meanings, a historical one and a contemporary one. The historical term refers to Early Christians of or attracted to Jewish culture. They generally used one of the Jewish-Christian Gospels.

Former Professor of Historical Theology at the University of Oxford, Alister McGrath claims that the 1st century Jewish Christians were fully faithful religious Jews, only differing in their acceptance of Jesus as the Messiah. Historians debate whether or not the Roman government distinguished between Christians and Jews prior to Nerva's modification of the Fiscus Judaicus in 96. From then on, practicing Jews paid the tax, Christians did not. The contemporary concept simply refers to individuals of certain Jewish ancestry or heritage, who are adherents of some form of Christianity, which may or may not incorporate some Jewish customs. This includes converts from Judaism to Christianity and ethnic Jews who for one reason or another had not been raised within Judaism.
