### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great book to learn about the Jewishness of Jesus
*by A***R on May 21, 2009*

Since this is currently not available through Amazon, I will provide the table of contexts:Introduction1 Joining Mary at the Feet of Jesus2 Why a Jewish Rabbi3 Stringing Pearls4 Following the Rabbi5 Get Yourself Some Haverim6 Rabbi, Teach Us to Pray7 For everything a Blessing8 A Passover Discovery9 Discovering Jesus in the Jewish Feasts10 At Table with the Rabbi11 Touching the Rabbi's Fringe12 Jesus and the Torah13 The Mysterious Kingdom of God14 Becoming True Disciples of Our Jewish LordAppendicesA Prayers Jesus PrayedB The FeastsC Recommended ResourcesD GlossaryNotesScripture IndexGeneral IndexIn the opening pages, the book features the endorsements by Ray Vander Laan, Marvin R. Wilson, David Bivin, and Dwight A. Pryor. Also, the book is 201 pages from the Introduction to the last page of chapter 14.The book is an introduction to the historical settings of the Jewish culture in which Jesus was apart of and paints a vivid picture of what it would have been like to have Jesus as your Rabbi. The purpose of this is to expand the knowledge of Jesus and develop ethical practices that reflect His teaching. This book does not set out to prove His Jewishness or Messiahship. The authors believe it and begin to relay a message of what it would have been like to be a disciple of Jesus.Each chapter begins with a short story or personal experience that sets the tune for the chapter. Further, when the authors are making a point, they speak in illustrations that appeal to the readers' physically senses/experiences so that the reader can relate to it. The authors discuss many cultural settings in which Jesus was apart of and some things that show a parallel to though they might be a little later in development. Each chapter ends with a set of challenges for the reader to do to incorporate the chapter's main points.My favorite chapters were "Stringing Pearls", "Following the Rabbi", and "Jesus and the Torah". Some main points that the authors bring up in those chapters are: 1) Jesus and other rabbis would quote a phrase or verse and expect the audience to fill in the remaining phrase or verse. 2) the way the rabbi live is the way the disciples are to live 3) discussion on how Jesus interpreted and how He felt about it. These are some of many essential items discussed in the book.Pros: This book is a good starting point for beginning to understand the Jewishness of Jesus. The simple illustrations and personal experience make the book easy for people to read and connect to. The challenges are reasonable and can transform ethical practices and viewpoints.Cons: It is a starting point. The authors stayed in the shallow end of the pool and never went too far out. For instance, the authors discuss that most rabbis use parables; however, the authors do not give a comprehensive study of what was taught by Jesus' parables. This sets Jesus in historical cultural settings, but does not go much beyond that. Therefore, my conclusion is that this book is a starting point.Conclusion: A reader should gain many essential tools to understand Jesus' words and deeds. Likewise, while some things are indirect challenges that is challenges that reader would will have to work out, the direct challenges should help mold a person into being more like Jesus Christ. I loved this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must read
*by R***E on March 1, 2025*

Excellent perspective, really made a lot more sense of the time period and culture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Contextual Info to Better Understand the Bible on its own Terms
*by M***T on December 30, 2024*

Context is so important in understanding the Bible. Not reading it through a modern lens but instead reading it through the cultural and contextual lens in which it was written. This book really helps paint a beautiful picture of some of that context. It helped me better understand parts of the Bible and feel a deeper connection to the God of the cosmos through understanding Jesus' Jewish background.
