Book excerpt: Jesus the Jewish Theologian establishes Jesus firmly within the context of first-century Judaism and shows how understanding Jesus' Jewishness is crucial for interpreting the New Testament and for understanding the nature of Christian faith. Insights from Jewish literature, archeology, and tradition help modern readers place Jesus within his original context. Particular attention is given to the Jewish roots of Jesus' teaching concerning the kingdom of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul the Jewish Theologian reveals Saul of Tarsus as a man who, though rejected in the synagogue, never truly left Judaism. Author Young disagrees with long held notions that Hellenism was the context which most influenced Paul's communication of the Gospel. This skewed notion has led to widely divergent interpretations of Paul's writings. Only in rightly aligning Paul as rooted in his Jewishness and training as a Pharisee can he be correctly interpreted. Young asserts that Paul's view of the Torah was always positive, and he separates Jesus' mission among the Jews from Paul's call to the Gentiles.

Book excerpt: "'Jesus and his Jewish Parables' presents a fresh approach to the gospel parables and their rabbinic counterparts. The author, Brad H. Young, demonstrates that the parables must be studied as a unique genre of teaching which is preserved only in rabbinic literature and in the gospels. He sets out to show a very close association between the teachings of Jesus and early Jewish pedagogical methods. In a radical new conclusion, Young maintains that the kingdom of heaven theme - so essential for a proper understanding of Jesus' message - is not an eschatological concept designed to forewarn of imminent catastrophe but rather a technical term Jesus employed to speak of God's reign as a present reality among those who have accepted the call to obey the divine will"--Page 4 of cover

Book excerpt: Meet the Rabbis explains to the reader how rabbinic thought was relevant to Jesus and the New Testament world, and hence should be relevant to those people today who read the New Testament. In this sense, rabbinic thought is relevant to every aspect of modern life. Rabbinic literature explores the meaning of living life to its fullest, in right relationship with God and humanity. However, many Christians are not aware of rabbinic thought and literature. Indeed, most individuals in the Western world today, regardless of whether they are Christians, atheists, agnostics, secular community leaders, or some other religious and political persuasions, are more knowledgeable of Jesus' ethical teachings in the Sermon the Mount than the Ethics of the Fathers in a Jewish prayer book. The author seeks to introduce the reader to the world of Torah learning. It is within this world that the authentic cultural background of Jesus' teachings in ancient Judaism is revealed. Young uses parts of the New Testament, especially the Sermon on the Mount, as a springboard for probing rabbinic method. The book is an introduction to rabbinic thought and literature and has three main sections in its layout: Introduction to Rabbinic Thought, Introduction to Rabbinic Literature, and Meet the Rabbis, a biographical description of influential Rabbis from Talmudic sources.

This book was released on 2011-03-11 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ Jesus and the Jewish People Today explores the historical, biblical, christological, trinitarian, and ecclesiological dimensions of this crucial question: How might we Christians in our time reaffirm our faith claim that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all humanity, even as we affirm the Jewish people s covenantal life with God? This volume is the result of a transatlantic, interfaith collaboration among Boston College, Catholic Theological Union, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Lund University, Pontifical Gregorian University, and Saint Joseph s University. This book opens up new vistas after forty-five years of Catholic-Jewish reconciliation. Not comfortable with resting on prior accomplishments, this work is a bold step forward in Catholic searching for a closer theological bond to Judaism without giving up the differences between the two faiths. . . . Offers the cutting edge of Christian theological views of Judaism. Alan Brill Seton Hall University Stunning in its scope, erudition, and creativity, this work is without parallel or peer. . . . A watershed contribution to a new era in the Jewish-Christian encounter, as both communities increasingly take decades of dialogue experience back into their own theological workshops and, with newfound partners lending support, strive to fashion a more adequate account of God s work among us.

Book excerpt: The author speaks as a modern Christian theologian--not so much about Christ, but about the historical Jesus, or rather, Yeshua, that religious Jew who walked this earth almost two thousand years ago. Examines the "Jewishness" of Yeshua, looking at him through the refracting lenses of the Gospel and other helpful documents. Shows how Yeshua provides a model on how to live a full human life: taking on responsibility for the oppressed society, breaking through anti-feminine stereotypes and providing an androgynous model for all to follow.
