Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus?

Apologetics

“This book offers an easy-to-read discussion about the Messiah in the Hebrew Bible from a Jewish man who has spent decades thinking about this topic. This book is a great read for a reader who is considering the topic of the Messiah in the Hebrew Bible for the first time, as well as the reader who has been thinking about this for years.”

Engaging the Old Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The first word in the title of Hernández’s book, Engaging the Old Testament, says it all. This book is truly an engaging introduction to the Old Testament as inspired Scripture. Hernández’s use of classic and modern literature outside the Bible to illustrate his points is a creative and effective way to stimulate one’s appetite to read the Bible more and to appreciate its message better in our modern context. This book will become a standard for introductions of the Bible for years to come.”

Genesis 1–11

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Thomas Keiser's application of literary-theological exegesis of the opening chapters of the Torah demonstrates the effectiveness of a text-centered approach for discerning the verbal meaning of Scripture. His careful and contextual reading confirms the literary coherence of Genesis 1-11 and brings with it many enlightening exegetical and theological insights.”

New Creation Eschatology and the Land

Theology

“Reading New Creation Eschatology and the Land by Steven L. James was truly a delightful experience, much like opening a box of boutique chocolate and exploring its flavors. This book not only challenges new creationist theologians to deal with the inconsistencies of a new creation eschatology that reduces the land of Israel and its people to a spiritual metaphor, but also stimulated in me an insatiable hunger to ask more questions and explore more uncharted territory in a biblical eschatology rooted in the model prayer of our Messiah: ‘Thy kingdom come!’ I highly recommend this book, and look forward with great anticipation to the discussion this book must surely produce about the land of Israel among new creationist theologians.”

The Messiah of the Targums

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“As someone who constantly engages with the Jewish sources on passages related to the topic of messianism in the Hebrew Bible, Michael Shepherd’s comprehensive commentary on the Targums’ messianic interpretations is sure to remain in the select stack of resources at arm’s length upon my desk. This book is a must for anyone seeking insight into the early Jewish understanding of messianism which is yet to be influenced by the later polemics of the Jewish-Christian debate.”

The Messianic Vision of the Pentateuch

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Years ago I set out to understand the meaning of the Pentateuch as a follower of Jesus. After reading several commentaries on each of the books of the Pentateuch, I was disappointed to find precious little comment by scholars on the Messianic hope, suggesting to me that the Messiah had little if any place in the scholarly discussion of the grammatical-historical interpretation of the book. Dr. Chen's book represents a persuasive scholarly defense of the Messianism as part and parcel of the literal meaning of the Pentateuch. I highly commend this book for laymen and scholars alike.”

The Undercover Messiah and His Coming Kingdom

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this biblical theology of the Messiah, Sibley embraces the hermeneutical principle of reading forwards, i.e., allowing a careful reading of the Hebrew Bible to shed light on the person and work of Yeshua in the New Testament. By doing so, Sibley shows that the New Testament is a profoundly Jewish book about a proudly Jewish Messiah whose words and deeds are rooted deeply in the Hebrew Scriptures.”
