Russian-born and Jewish-raised theologian and author David Baron (1855-1926) was a British citizen. He became a fervent supporter of Jewish-Christian ties and the return of the Jewish people to Israel after converting to Christianity as a young man. Baron was a prolific author and academic who wrote a lot of books and papers on biblical studies, theology, and Jewish history. In addition to the significance of the Jewish people in the narrative of salvation, he was especially interested in the connection between the Old and New Testaments. Baron contributed to scholarship but also actively supported the Jewish people in real-world ways. He collaborated with a number of groups that aimed to aid Jewish communities in Eastern Europe, and he was a strong supporter of the Zionist cause. Both Jewish and Christian academics held Baron's writing and activism in high respect, and his work is still studied and valued today. In the subject of Jewish studies, his work "The History of the Ten Lost Tribes" is regarded as a classic and is often mentioned and used as a source by academics. See less
