The Jewish Gospel of John
The Jewish Gospel of John is not, by any standard, another book on Jesus of Nazareth written from a Jewish perspective. It is an invitation to the reader to put aside their traditional understanding of the Gospel of John and to replace it with another one more faithful to the original text perspective. The Jesus that will emerge will provoke to rethink most of what you knew about this gospel. The book is a well-rounded verse-by-verse illustrated rethinking of the fourth gospel. Here is the catch: instead of reading it, as if it was written for 21 century Gentile Christians, the book interprets it as if it was written for the first-century peoples of ancient Israel. The book proves what Krist...
Hebrew Insights from Revelation
The book of Revelation is a first-century Jewish document that recognizes Jesus as ultimate Emperor of worldwide Empire. For many centuries, the interpretation of Revelation was almost solely in the hands of those unfamiliar with Jewish language, context or culture. Therefore, the cultural and linguistic disconnect was substantial. This book begins to remedy this situation by returning the Book of Revelation into its original Jewish and Hebraic contexts, without ignoring it's Greco-Roman setting as well. Are you ready to be inspired by looking at Revelation as you never looked at it before? If so, go ahead get the book and come with us on the journey of discovery into the world of Jewish Background of the Book of Revelation.
The Samaritan Woman Reconsidered
The Samaritan Woman is generally portrayed in our Bible studies as a woman of ill-repute. While avoiding people because of her deep shame over her immoral life, she seemingly stumbled upon Jesus resting at a well. However, most people reading this story are left with a nagging question. How could this woman receive an overwhelmingly positive response from her village neighbors, when she called them to drop everything and come with her to meet a Jewish man, she herself had just met? Something does not add up.

In this book, Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg and Prof. Pinchas Shir, invite you on a journey of discovery. You will witness the ancient culture embodied by the 1st Book of Enoch and see some of the significant ways it may have influenced the New Testament writers with its peculiar Old Testament interpretations.

Becoming Israel
This book pulls back the layers of translation traditions by looking at the original Hebrew of the Book of Genesis itself. Most people think that because the majority of Bible translators are committed to God that they would never introduce anything of "their own" into the text of translation. But, truth be told, objective translation is impossible because any text is understood through the worldview of the translator. Translation is in some way an act of interpretation of the original Scriptures. By slowly reading this book you will discover for yourself the riches of the Ancient Hebrew stories that were first written to provide a guide for the emerging people of Israel. Whether you are part of today's "Jewish people" or what many have come to call a "Jewish coalition" - the members of the nations of the world that worship Israel's God in Christ Jesus along with the people of Israel - this book is for you, because these great Torah stories are your heritage as well. Without them you, too, just like an Israelite of old, do not know where you came from and where it is that you are going.
The Hidden Story of Jacob
Reading the Bible in the original Hebrew allows us to notice many things that remain invisible in English translations. This brief book pulls back the layers of translation traditions by looking into the original Hebrew text of the story of Jacob and his children. By rereading and, therefore, rethinking the original Hebrew text from the largest sections of Genesis we get to relive one of the greatest stories ever told. Get ready for it. It's power may just take you by surprise.
The Jewish Apostle Paul
"The Jewish Apostle Paul" sheds significant new light on the life and teaching of one of the greatest and most misunderstood Jews that ever lived - the Apostle Paul. This book courageously, yet responsibly, deals with one important matter that has not been settled: What is the relationship of Christ-followers among the nations to the Torah of Israel? In order to provide solid answers to this question, we must first deal with other basic questions.For example, how can we explain a thoroughly pro-Jewish Paul as he appears in his letter to the Romans and in the book of Acts; while he seemingly displays anti-Jewish or anti-Torah attitudes in his letters to non-Jewish Christ-followers in the Roman provinces of Galatia and the city of Philippi. The standard questions that are being asked today, although frightening to many, are indeed relevant and demand responsible, theologically balanced and historically accurate treatment.

Together with lead scholars from Israel Bible Center you will come on exhilarating 40-day journey of discovery that you will never forget.
Semitic Christianity
This is a reading for serious students of Church and Jewish history. It is based on my Ph.D. dissertation at Stellenbosch University on the history of Jewish-Christian polemics. There I reconstruct the fourth-century polemic between sages of the Babylonian Talmud and a local Semitic Christian community. In this work, I compare what St. Aphrahat (who writes in the language of the Babylonian Talmud) with what Jewish sages had to say concerning 5 key topics (circumcision, prayer, Passover, kashrut and fasting). Regarding the nature of Aphrahat's encounters with the Jews, this book provides a set of additional or secondary conclusions that concern a variety of topics such as the nature of Jewish missions to (Jewish) Christians and Aphrahat's treatment of the Christian Pascha/Passover in relationship to the idea of the Christian Sabbath.
