Our modern society, with its individualism and materialism, is very different than the tight-knit, family-oriented setting Jesus lived and taught in. What wisdom can we glean from his Eastern, biblical attitude toward life? How can knowing Jesus within th...

Rabbi Jesus
Beginning with the Gospels, interpretations of the life of Jesus have flourished for nearly two millennia, yet a clear and coherent picture of Jesus as a man has remained elusive. In Rabbi Jesus, the noted biblical scholar Bruce Chilton places Jesus within the context of his times to present a fresh, historically accurate, and revolutionary examination of the man who founded Christianity.

His in-depth investigation also provides evidence that contradicts long-held beliefs ab...

Listening to the Language of the Bible

Summary of Lois Tverberg's Reading the Bible with Rabbi Jesus
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The author’s goal is to help you mentally transport yourself back in time to read the Bible as one of Jesus’ first-century disciples. He wants to help you appreciate the Bible’s original Middle Eastern setting. #2 Embracing Jesus’ Jewishness is a recent development in Christian scholarship. It has been realized that Jesus was overly cast within Greco-Roman society, to the neglect of his Jewish context. Seeing him in his context sheds new light on his ministry and deepens our understanding of his words. #3 I grew up believing that the Bible was the inspired Word of God, but I found it more confusing than inspiring. The last quarter of the Bible, starting with the book of Matthew, was dog-eared, rippled with coffee mug circles, and filled with highlighting and thoughts penciled into the margins. #4 The site of Emmaus is unknown, but it is believed to be located near Motza, a village just northwest of Jerusalem. Its ancient name was Ha-motza, meaning the spring, which was translated into Greek as Em-ma-oos, or Emmaus.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most well-known images of all time.

But it was restored in 1999, and its original beauty was revealed. #2 The Pool of Siloam was the main source of fresh water within Jerusalem’s walls. It was discovered in 2004, and archaeologists found a wide, stepped first-century street that leads from the pool up to the Temple. It would have been the final steps of ascent for pilgrims after days or weeks of traveling to celebrate t...

Praying the Names of God
