    Rabbi Isaac Lichtenstein was among the most well known Jewish believers in Jesus (JBJs) in the late 19th century through the very beginning of the 20th century. In the Jewish missions circles of the time, he is equal or perhaps second only to Joseph Rabinowitz in notoriety. Practically any history of JBJs which has appeared in recent times makes reference to him and his work. David Baron states “What Joseph Rabinovich [sic] was to the Jews of Russia, that, and even more, Rabbi Lichtenstein was to the more cultured Jews of Austria, Hungary, Germany, etc.” That he was an Orthodox Jewish rabbi and his unwillingness to be baptized had much to do with his fame. Baron said of his writings “…Rabbi Lichtenstein… produce[d] [a] remarkable series of pamphlets… [of] great importance and value…” This is the first time that most of the writings of this Orthodox Hungarian rabbi have appeared together in print. In this introduction, I provide a brief biographical sketch of Lichtenstein.
