A Jewish convert to Catholicism examines the Christian faith as the fulfillment of Judaism. Barrack demonstrates the beautiful harmony between the Old and New Testaments, and says of the Catholic Church that it is "the Synagogue transformed by the Messiah." Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah or annointed one of God, who fulfills the mission of the Jews to prepare the world for its redemption. From beginning to end, Barrack's zest for the Catholic Church shines through, as does his love for his Jewish brethren. He aptly demonstrates that the Jew who becomes Catholic is not giving up anything, rather he is claiming his rightful inheritance and 'completing' his own Judaism. Second Exodus is a romance with our Shepherd, and Catholic teaching is carefully placed within its Jewish setting like a diamond in a wedding ring. -- New Oxford Review Reminiscent of David Goldstein and Rosalie Marie Levy during the first half of this century, and Fr. Arthur Klyber during the second half, Marty Barrack, another son of Israel, has given us an intelligent, faith-filled, and zealous apologetic with which to enter the third millennium. Second Exodus incorporates insights from Marty's heritage, the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and the leadership of the current Vicar of Christ, John Paul II. I warmly recommend this book for all who would ask the reasons for our faith in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. -David Moss (David Moss, Association of Hebrew Catholics (foreword to book)) -- (David Moss, Association of Hebrew Catholics (foreword to book)) Marty Barrack was born and raised in a Bronx neighborhood so Jewish it had four synagogues. God, however, prepared him early. At the age of ten he became good friends with a Catholic boy. At 18, as an amateur radio operator, he met and was befriended by several Franciscan friars. At 24 he married Irene, a devout Catholic. Twenty years later, the Lord Jesus began to call. Disconcerted, Marty spent three years wandering in a spiritual wilderness. A startling revelation by the Holy Spirit finally allowed him to see the light and at age 46 he became a Catholic. Now, ten years later, he has completed his gift to Jesus: Second Exodus.
