Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine Yeshua of Nazareth telling you his story, in his own words. Yeshua First-Person is a literal translation of his four ancient biographies, but phrased in the first-person, so you can experience just that. See the world from Yeshua Ben-Yosef's point of view and understand what it was like to be him as, finally, history's most controversial Rabbi speaks for himself. "I stood on the beach, but the talmidim didn't know that it was me. I said to them, 'My sons, have you anything to eat?'" Walk with the Master. Find yourself trailing alongside the carpenter turned prophet-taken aback by his interactions, surprised by his miracles, amused at his followers...so caught up in the first-person narrative you can't put it down. "They woke me up and asked me, 'Rabbi, don't you care that we are dying?' I rebuked the wind and said to the sea, 'Shalom! Be still!'" Meet the first disciples. Nothing will touch you more than the raw humanness of the talmidim, their personal stories, and their Rabbi's frustrations and pride over them: Shimon and Yehuda, Miriam and Shoshana, Zakkai and Nakdimon... "I saw Netanel coming to me, and said about him, 'Hinei! A Ben-Yisrael indeed, in whom is no deceit!'" See ancient Israel. From the windy shores of the Kinneret, to the rolling hills of the Galil, to the bustling shuks of Yerushalaim, the original names of Yeshua's familiar haunts impart a sense of vivid authenticity. "I came to Natzeret where I had been brought up. As was my custom, I entered into the shul on Shabbat and stood up to read." Learn Hebrew/Aramaic with the Jewish Jesus. Taste the actual words Yeshua used, still widely recognized today for their soulful meaning and resonance. "I said to them, 'Is a menorah brought to be put under a basket? If any man has ears to shema, let him shema!'" Read history's best-selling Jewish books about Judaism. Eventually read and loved by millions of Gentiles, these books were originally written by religious Jews, primarily for Jews, about a Rabbi who practiced traditional Judaism. "When eight days were fulfilled for my bris, my name was called Yeshua." Sit at the feet of Rabbi Jesus every day. Mattai, Mark, Luke, and Yochanan: divided into 365 portions for daily reading. "After I suffered I showed myself alive to the shaliachs whom I had chosen, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about my kingdom." Your Messianic Jewish Bible. Yeshua First-Person's addictive first-person tone will leave you reaching for it whenever it's time to read the Besorah. "I took the cup, made the bracha, and gave it to them, saying, 'All of you drink it, for this is my blood of the brit chadasha.'" Complete your Jewish understanding of the Hebrew Bible (Torah, Tanach, 'Old Testament') with this trusted literal English translation. Our sages taught that, while Mashiach was supposed to come at the end of four thousand years, he never did. What if these accounts hold the key to this unsolved mystery? "Beginning from Moshe and from all the prophets, I explained to them throughout the Tanach the things concerning myself." A great journey awaits you! How will you know how much you almost missed unless you take the next step? Order your copy of Yeshua First-Person and prepare for a personal encounter with the greatest and most misunderstood of the Jewish prophets. "I turned and saw them following and said, 'What are you looking for?' They said to me, 'Rabbi, where are you staying?' I said to them, 'Come and see!'"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus never wrote a book. Most scholars assume that information about Jesus was preserved only orally up until the writing of the Gospels, allowing ample time for the stories of Jesus to grow and diversify. Alan Millard here argues that written reports about Jesus could have been made during his lifetime and that some among his audiences and followers may very well have kept notes, first-hand documents that the Evangelists could weave into their narratives.
Download or read book They Loved the Torah written by David Friedman (Ph. D.) and published by Messianic Jewish Publisher. This book was released on 2001 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did Yeshua observe the Law? Did Paul teach his congregations to abandon the Torah? Was the devout Jew, Peter, persuaded that the Commandments were cancelled? The answers you'll find in this book may surprise you! Even though many Jews believe that Paul taught against the Law, this book disproves that notion. Most Christians are disconnected from the Torah; reading this book will reconnect them. Dr. Friedman makes an excellent case for his premise that all the first followers of Messiah were not only Torah-observant, but also desired to spread their love for God's entire Word to the Gentiles to whom they preached. Part 1 Yeshua and the Torah Part 2 Yeshua's Talmidim and the Torah Part 3 Reactions to the Torah Observance of Yeshua and His Followers Part 4 Torah Observance: Legalism or Love? David Friedman, former academic dean of King of Kings College in Jerusalem, holds a Ph.D. in Judaic studies and an M.A. in Arabic.

Download or read book What Did Jesus Look Like written by Joan E. Taylor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.
Download or read book Introduction to Reading the Pentateuch written by Jean Louis Ska and published by Eisenbrauns. This book was released on 2006 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jean Louis Ska's Introduzione alla lettura del Pentateuco was first published in Italy, it was quickly hailed as the most attractive and usable introduction to the Pentateuch to appear in modern times. Because of its strengths, it was soon translated into French. The English translation published by Eisenbrauns has been completely reviewed and updated (including the bibliography) by Ska. Among the book's many strengths are its close attention to the ways in which modern cultural history has affected Pentateuchal interpretation, attention to providing the kinds of examples that are helpful to students, presentation of a good balance between the history of interpretation and the data of the text, and the clarity of Ska's writing. For both students and scholars, many consider this book the best contemporary introduction to the Pentateuch.

Download or read book Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time written by Marcus J. Borg and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many recent books on the historical Jesus, none has explored what the latest biblical scholarship means for personal faith. Now, in Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence and openness to the best of historical scholarship. Borg shows how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a new faith in Christ, one that is critical and, at the same time, sustaining. "Believing in Jesus does not mean believing doctrines about him," Borg writes. "Rather, it means to give one's heart, one's self at its deepest level, to . . . the living Lord." Drawing on his own journey from a naive, unquestioning belief in Christ through collegiate skepticism to a mature and contemporary Christian faith, Borg illustrates how an understanding of the historical Jesus can actually lead to a more authentic Christian life—one not rooted in creeds or dogma, but in a life of spiritual challenge, compassion, and community. In straightforward, accessible prose, Borg looks at the major findings of modern Jesus scholarship from the perspective of faith, bringing alive the many levels of Jesus' character: spirit person, teacher of alternative wisdom, social prophet, and movement founder. He also reexamines the major stories of the Old Testament vital to an authentic understanding of Jesus, showing how an enriched understanding of these stories can uncover new truths and new pathways to faith. For questioning believers, doubters, and reluctant unbelievers alike, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time frees our understanding of Jesus' life and message from popular misconceptions and outlines the way to a sound and contemporary faith: "For ultimately, Jesus is not simply a figure of the past, but a figure of the present. Meeting that Jesus—the living one who comes to us even now—will be like meeting Jesus again for the first time."
Download or read book Canaan and Israel in Antiquity A Textbook on History and Religion written by K. L. Noll and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive classic textbook represents the most recent approaches to the biblical world by surveying Palestine's social, political, economic, religious and ecological changes from Palaeolithic to Roman eras. Designed for beginners with little knowledge of the ancient world, and with copious illustrations and charts, it explains how and why academic study of the past is undertaken, as well as the differences between historical and theological scholarship and the differences between ancient and modern genres of history writing. Classroom tested chapters emphasize the authenticity of the Bible as a product of an ancient culture, and the many problems with the biblical narrative as a historical source. Neither "maximalist" nor "minimalist'" it is sufficiently general to avoid confusion and to allow the assignment of supplementary readings such as biblical narratives and ancient Near Eastern texts. This new edition has been fully revised, incorporating new graphics and English translations of Near Eastern inscriptions. New material on the religiously diverse environment of Ancient Israel taking into account the latest archaeological discussions brings this book right up to date.
Download or read book Jesus Outside the Gospels written by R. Joseph Hoffman and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the public has easy access to religious literature on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, there is little opportunity for the general reader to assess the more skeptical works of biblical criticism. In Jesus Outside the Gospels, Professor Hoffmann argues that very little is known about Jesus apart from the Gospels. He contends that the Gospels were intended to establish not the history of Jesus, but his divinity. The four books, attributed to men called Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, were written some two generations after the events they intended to describe. Hoffmann analyzes and quotes extensively from non-biblical sources written 1,900 years ago, providing a picture of the man called Jesus that is quite different from the man portrayed in the Gospels. Sources analyzed at length are the Talmud, Josephus, and Tacitus, as well as Gnostic and Apocryphal Gospels. The author holds to a controversial view that the Gospels are in reality the missionary propaganda of a first-century messianic cult and are far from objective biographies or historical annals. Jesus Outside the Gospels is essential reading for anyone desiring a careful and critical study of the New Testament.
