speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew or to call
a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew."
A writer for The Dearborn Independent, published in Michigan back in
1922, summarised the problem thus: "The pulpit has also the mission of
liberating the Church from the error that Judah and Israel are
synonymous. The reading of the Scriptures which confuse the tribe of
Judah with Israel, and which interpret every mention of Israel as
signifying the Jews, is at the root of more than one-half the
confusion and division traceable in Christian doctrinal statements."
