Hello;
The world is divided up into many "people-groups."
How should the Jews be considered? Are they an ethnic people? Or a religious people? How do we classify them and how should we list them as an unreached people group? In the long lists of targetted unreached people groups to which we desire to send missionaries, how do we address the Jews?
What do we do with Arab background folks who convert to Judaism? Or European Jewish believers who are polish despite being jewish in belief. From an unreached people group perspective, are these then Jews or Poles?
The NT mentions humanity being made up of Jews and Gentiles; both now having access to the faith. If we just put them in with all the other (Gentile) unreached people groups, is that okay? Or must there be a footnote or some sort of special demarkation for them?
