Learning Messiah

Theology

“Learning Messiah is an important book. Edjan Westerman reads the Bible as a ‘co-reader’ with deep respect for Israel, the first reader. Starting from the belief that we received the Tenach and the New Testament from the beloved and elected people of Israel’s God, he overviews and corrects the common Christian Biblical theology with his ‘own’ integral canonical approach . . . He wrote this book for the common, interested reader and invites them to react and to take a position. If we receive the Bible in modesty and in acceptance of the priority of God to Israel—what does this mean for our faith and our relation to the people of the Messiah?”
