Hebraic Literature

Hebrew Roots – Judaism  by 
Maurice Harris

Hebraic Literature;What is the Talmud? There is more than one answer. Ostensibly it is the corpus juris of the Jews from about the first century before the Christian era to about the fourth after it. But we shall see as we proceed that the Talmud was much more than this. The very word “Law” in Hebrew—”Torah”—means more than its translation would imply. The Jew interpreted his whole religion in terms of law. It is his name in fact for the Bible’s first five books—the Pentateuch.

Who is Israel? by Bruce Booker

Who is Israel?

Hebraic Perspective by 
Bruce Booker

Who is Israel states that Is Israel simply a person, or a people? If a people, who does it consist of? For many centuries now, the Church has proclaimed that it has replaced the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In this book, we examine the implications of that proclamation in the light of Scripture and history.

We Have the Mind of Messiah

Yeshua and Judaism  by 
Bruce Booker

In We have the mind of Messiah Dr. Brad H. Young, the Parables Jewish Tradition and Christian Interpretation, writes these words to us: “The Jewishness of Jesus is related to faith in the one God of Israel. Too often faith in Jesus completely overshadows the faith of Jesus.” In short, our faith as believers in and disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) should be the same faith as Yeshua had when He walked on this earth! That is the meaning of true discipleship. This book seeks to lead us to have the faith of Yeshua so that we can become closer disciples of the Master.

Torah our Expression of Love

Understanding Torah  by 
Bruce Booker

Torah our Expression of Love;God wants His people to love Him. This is evident from the many passages of Scripture that says so. The question I raise in this book is not so much a question of, “Should we love God?” I believe most people of God can come to an agreement on this point, but rather of the question, “How is loving God expressed by us?” I think this is where we would find a difference of understanding in our expression to Him.

The Problem with Paul

Roots of Christianity  by 
Bruce Booker

The purpose The Problem with Paul is to share with believers in Jesus that we need to reconsider seriously what we have been taught and insure that what we have been taught by our pastors, professors, and fellow believers is indeed true and solidly in line with all of Scripture – or we may very well find ourselves in opposition to God!

On Galatians and Torah

Galatians upholding Torah by 
Torah Research

Historically, the book of Galatians has been widely misunderstood, due largely to the technical discussions of biblical topics ranging from circumcision, to the Torah, to freedom in Christ. A contextual study of Galatians will help to unravel the letter for both Christians and Jews. Associating Pharisaismwith Moses,thephrase“worksoflaw”(especiallyin Galatians)isquitem is understood inmainstream Christianity—particularly consider ingthe Protest antbe lief that the Law has been some how null if ied by Jesus’ sacrifice. According to such skewedtheology, on one side of the fence is Moses and the Torah—the Pharisees, asrepresent at ives of that “Old Test a mentreligion.” On the other side is Jesus,Paul and grace.n

Galatians and Torah by 
Ariel Ben-Lyman HaNaviy

Historically, the book of Galatians has been widely misunderstood, due largely to the technical discussions of biblical topics ranging from circumcision, to the Torah, to freedom in Christ. A contextual study of Galatians will help to unravel the letter for both Christians and Jews. To be sure, without a proper background to the book we will forever misread Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles. For this particular study, allow me to start in B’resheet (Genesis) with Avraham and circumcision. If we begin to peel back the mysteries surrounding this simple biblical command we stand a better chance at understanding Rav Sha’ul (Apostle Paul) and his enigmatic instructions.

An Exposition of Galatians

The “New Perspective” by 
Don Garlington

An Exposition of Galatians states that the present commentary seeks to be a kind of halfway house between highly technical and popular treatments of Galatians. Its purpose is to make the exposition as user-friendly as possible with only as many technicalities as necessary to accomplish that end. The emphasis of the work is decidedly theological, with attention focused on the salvation historical argument of Paul’s letter. Its main target audience includes pastors, students, and Pauline scholars.

Justification by Dr.NT. Wright

Justification

Justification and Covenantal Nomianism by 
Dr.NT. Wright

In this Justification a riveting book, N. T. Wright explains that God’s salvation is radically more than this. At the heart of much vigorous debate on this topic is the term the apostle Paul uses in several of his letters to describe what happens to those in Christ?justification. Paul uses this dramatic image from the law court to declare that Christians are acquitted of the cosmic accusations against them. But justification goes beyond this in Paul’s writings to offer a vision of God’s future for the whole world as well as for his people.

Paul and Palestinian Judaism

Early Palestinian Judaism by 
E.P.Sanders

Paul and Palestinian Judaism ;In the past three decades reasons have accumulated for a transformation of our whole picture of Judaism in first-century Palestine. Sanders has listened to those reasons; he has done his homework; and he undertakes here to shift the question about Paul’s relation to that Judaism into a fundamentally different perspective.
