Bio & Testimony

Jump to: Biography

I serve as Senior Researcher at the Jews for Jesus headquarters in San Francisco. I was raised in a Reform Jewish home in Brooklyn, New York, and came to faith at Syracuse University in 1973. I received the M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 1978 and the Ph.D. in Biblical Studies and Hermeneutics from Westminster Theological Seminary in 1993. Over the years I have served as a missionary at a number of our U.S. branches. In the late 70s and early 80s I played piano for our music team at the time, The Liberated Wailing Wall. I'm an avid reader and you can find some of my reviews on Goodreads.com. I enjoy listening to Bob Dylan, am passionate about getting behind a piano and playing Elton John, and try and keep up with the New York Times on my newsreader. You can connect with me at rich.robinson@jewsforjesus.org.

Prayer and Support

Thanks for being willing to pray! As senior researcher, a lot of my work is writing and editing. Please pray for:
• A book manuscript I have just completed on the Sabbath. It covers the biblical theology of the Sabbath and includes a section on Jewish customs and Sabbath life. Please pray for a good editor and that the book will be helpful to many Christians -- for their own benefit and for understanding their Jewish friends who may observe the Sabbath.
• A commentary I need to prepare on Isaiah 53 due end 2012 for an online publication.
• I edit our quarterly publication Havurah, which addresses the special concerns of Jewish believers in Jesus. Please pray that it will minister to those who read it. If you know of any Jewish people who are believers in Jesus and aren't connected with us, send me their contact info via email. I'll see that they receive Havurah and connect up.
