Rabbi Federow authored the chapter, “Missionaries,” in the college student handbook, “Where We Stand: Jewish Consciousness On Campus.” He authored a series of pamphlets teaching Jews how to respond to Christian Missionaries, and has taught a 12 week course, “Mission Control: How To Respond To Christian Missionaries” at the Houston Jewish Community Center.

Rabbi Stuart Federow was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri, where his home was strictly kosher, and his family belonged to United Hebrew Congregations, which housed two congregations in one building, one orthodox and the other Reform. His family was on the Orthodox side. Springfield used to be known as the Buckle on the Bible Belt, because of its central Midwestern location. Three colleges and two universities are found in Springfield, two of which are Liberal Arts Universities, while three are Christian Colleges. Springfield, Missouri, is also the headquarters of the Assemblies of Gd Church. Because he was a part of a very small minority in this very Christian environment, he has been a passionate student of Comparative Religion his whole life.
