A Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith
A Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith is a comprehensive handbook that serves as an introduction to the Jewish roots of the Christian Faith. It includes Old Testament background, Second Temple Judaism, the life of Jesus, the New Testament, and the early Jewish followers of Jesus. It is intended as a resource for college and/or higher education. It is no longer a novelty to say that Jesus was a Jew. In fact, the term Jewish roots has become something of a buzzword in books, articles, and especially on the internet. But what does the Jewishness of Jesus actually mean, and why is it important? This collection of articles aims to address those questions and serve as a comprehensi...
Reading Moses, Seeing Jesus
This book addresses the questions about the believer's relationship to the Torah (the five Books of Moses, or the Pentateuch) and its commandments (the Law): Since Jesus kept the Law, are believers (Jewish and Gentile) also obliged to keep the Law, or at least some portions of it (Sabbath, the food laws, etc.)? What about the Oral Law (rabbinic traditions)? How does the Torah point to the Messiah? How do we apply the Law of Moses today? Though this book is based on more than a decade of academic research, it is written with the non-academic reader in mind and provides easy-to-understand answers to the questions related to the Torah and does so in a manner thoroughly rooted in a careful reading of the biblical text.
The Psychology of Strategic Terrorism
This new volume explores terrorism and strategic terror, examining how the public responds to terrorist attacks, and what authorities can do in such situations. The book uses a unique interdisciplinary approach, which combines the behavioural sciences and international relations, in order to further the understanding of the 'terror' generated by strategic terror. The work examines five contemporary case studies of the psychological and behavioural effects of strategic terror, from either terrorist attacks or aerial bombardment. It also looks at how risk-communication and public-health strategies can amplify or reduce psychological and behavioural responses, and considers whether behavioural effects translate into political effects, and what governments can do to relieve this. Ultimately, the study argues that the public is not prone to panic, but can change their behaviours to reduce their perceived risk of being exposed to a terrorist attack. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism studies, homeland security, social psychology and politics in general.
Meet Me at the Olive Tree
Based on The Olive Tree series of radio programmes, the individual stories of Jewish believers and Arab/Palestinian Christians featured in this book present the reader with a dilemma; how to reconcile what is broadcast through the news channels with what God is doing in Israel and the West Bank today! Here you will read how the Body of Christ, which includes both Jews and non-Jews (Arabs/Palestinians) is growing in size and unity in the Holy Land today despite the politics and conflict that divide these two peoples. Reconciliation in the Middle East is fraught with danger and seemingly impossible challenges. However, reconciliation is possible through the Cross, no matter how powerful the childhood indoctrination or how great the social pressure. -This inspirational, heart-warming volume is a must for all who champion reconciliation in our Messiah.- Susan Perlman, Jews for Jesus

Journal for the Evangelical Study of the Old Testament, 7.1
Journal for the Evangelical Study of the Old Testament (JESOT) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the academic and evangelical study of the Old Testament. The journal seeks to fill a need in academia by providing a venue for high-level scholarship on the Old Testament from an evangelical standpoint. The journal is not affiliated with any particular academic institution, and with an international editorial board, open access format, and multi-language submissions, JESOT cultivates and promotes Old Testament scholarship in the evangelical global community. The journal differs from many evangelical journals in that it seeks to publish current academic research in the areas of ancient Near Ea...
Journeys of Asian Diaspora
Asians make up the largest and most dispersed people of the world, and Christians make up a sizable proportion of this demographic. Asian Christians are more likely to emigrate, and many have continued to embrace Christian faith at their diasporic places of settlement. They are quick to establish distinctively Asian churches all over the world and infuse diversity, revival, and missionary consciousness into their adopted communities. They preserve the ties and cultures of their ancestral homelands while assimilating and adapting into the new setting. They have become a recognizable force in the transformation and advancement of Christianity itself at the beginning of the twenty-first century...
Legacy of Hope
A multitude of books have been written about both the horrors and the heroes of World War II. Legacy of Hope: Hidden Heroes from Generation to Generation, though similar in general topic as some of those other World War II books, is also uniquely different. Legacy of Hope tells the story—both from a historical viewpoint and a personal one—of two seldom honored heroes of that era, an orthodox priest and a humble but highly revered rabbi, both of whom courageously and repeatedly put their lives on the line to save the Jewish population of Bulgaria.
Israel, the Church, and the Middle East
The relationship between the church and Israel has been the source of passionate debate among Christians throughout much of church history. In recent years the traditional pro-Israel stance of evangelicals has come under fire by those who support the Palestinian cause, calling for a new perspective and more nuanced approach by Christians who believe that the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people by virtue of God’s covenants and promises. Israel, the Church, and the Middle East challenges the supersessionist drift of the modern church, showing that God retains a plan and purpose for the Jewish people while also addressing a number of the divisive issues raised by authors critical both...
When Jesus Returns

Based on a new approach to the interpretation of the book of Revelation, he discusses in detail the controversial and misunderstood subject of the 'Rapture' and uncovers the true significance of the 'Millennium'.
