Study Questions:
-Moss recounts her understanding of the way in which Passover was celebrated for her as a modern-day Jew. What insights into the Catholic, Eucharistic celebration does she draw?
-What point does Moss make about illiteracy and Bible-alone Christianity?
-Moss describes how Evangelical Christians first illuminated the Hebrew Scriptures for her, showing that Jesus fulfills all the Messianic prophesies. After hearing her story, how important is it for Christians to know how to describe salvation history? What difference can it make in another person’s life?
-Moss quotes Archbishop Charles Chaput, regarding the importance of history: “A people without a sense of history,
is like a people with amnesia. They don’t know who they are. They’ve lost their identity. The past gives meaning to the
present and the present determines the future.” Why is it important to know who we are? Why is it important to pass
on identity to our children?
-Have you ever experienced what Scott Hahn refers to as “Holy Shock”?
-What point does Moss make regarding sola scriptura (“Bible-alone”) Christianity?
-Moss discusses the visible Church in light of the Kingdom of Israel. Did you gather any new insights about the nature of the Church? If this differs from your faith tradition, what are the differences?
Did Moss’ Jewish heritage enlighten Christianity for you? If so, in what ways?

Hi Rosalind,
Thank you for your testimony. I have seen you at EWTN Journey home, I believe. 45 min then,was too short, to do justice to your personal journey, yet so compelling.
You have spoken so eloquently and so wonderfully of Our Lord’s fullfillment of His Promise through Salvation History and the wonderful connect with the Jewish Faith, which I have not known & thus unappreciated ….until now. Thank you for your love of Jesus Our Lord.
Being a father of 3 small kids,I can really appreciate the love of Our Lord so exemplified by Protestant pastors and converts like yourself who enter the Church. The agony, the insecurity, the Faith and Love of Our Lord by brothers and sisters in Christ….I am humbled and so thankful of such wonderful witnesses. Gives me a bit more oomph and joy in my gait through life…..(after 50 years of misdirection by some quarters after Vatican 2)!!
I hope to give my “5 loaves and 2 fishes” of contribution all the way from Malaysia (the peninsular above Singapore….remember us in the news ?). …together with my heart and prayers for the apostolates, you and Marcus and the Team are in.
United in the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
