My Review of "Reading the Bible with Rabbi Jesus"

Reading the Bible with Rabbi Jesus: How a Jewish Perspective Can Transform Your Understanding by Lois Tverberg

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Lois Tverberg writes a clear, understandable book explaining the Jewish roots to many of Jesus' teaching. She explains Jewish culture and way of thinking with concrete Biblical and practical examples. Then she applies the technique to Jesus' teachings, both the familiar and the less familiar.

This book will help any Christian or any person seeking to understand Jesus in the context of his culture of first-century Judea. Along the way, you will gain a deeper, richer appreciation for the Hebraic way of thinking and understanding scripture longitudinally. This is where scriptures with similar words and phrases are compared with each other. The scriptures from one book illuminate the scriptures in another, adding depth and meaning.

This is how Jesus taught His disciples. By reading this book, you will gain the same insights.
