Resumen del Editor

Are you a spiritual person? A mature Christian? The apostles do not think that you are unless you have mastered the basic principles of the oracles of God. The writer of the book of Hebrews wanted to present some exciting thoughts about Jesus. He wanted to start exploring some heady insights about the work of Messiah, but he felt frustrated because people seemed unprepared for these deeper, spiritual lessons. He wanted to go deep, but people were still shallow. They did not have the basics down. He wrote, "It is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food" (Hebrews 5:11-12). In Elementary Principles, D. Thomas Lancaster takes listeners back to first-century Messianic Judaism to explore what he calls "an apostolic catechism", the foundational basics of discipleship to Jesus of Nazareth. Think you know it all already? Get ready to rethink your religion. This book of "basics" challenges common Christian assumptions while laying out clear, biblical definitions for all followers of Jesus. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food. (Hebrews 5:11-12)

Great book to help understand Messiah Jesus (Yeshua)

This book was a great resource and asset in understanding what being a Disciple of Jesus (Yeshua) means. Pastor Lancaster lays out a compelling argument that is rooted in history and context.

Thought-provoking book! It challenged my thinking

I have listened to this book many times. It challenged my thinking on so many levels, especially in regards to the gospel. He came across rather strong and direct in this book. I like that because I wasn't left guessing where he stood on things, and I was in a place where I was ready to hear it. I would recommend this book, but I would not start by giving this book to my family. I would give them Children of the Light, then Restoration, and then this book. That is the order in which I read them. I am not sure I would have been ready to hear what this book had to say before reading Children of the Light and Restoration. I also first attended Torah Clubs before reading this book, which helped me see God's love all throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and, I believe, helped prepare me for this book.

refreshing and encouraging!

My heart so needed this and was so refreshed and encouraged by it! I only wish I had access to this resource 28 years ago when I started this journey. Highly recommend wether you are new to the faith or have been a believer for a long time and need a refresher on the elementary principles. The part about the Resurrection was really empowering as I have been clinging to the Ressurection after losing a niece and nephew and 3 babies of my own. These principles are something every believer should be familiar with and confident in.

Great teaching!

Such an amazing teaching. I highly reccomend you get this book and go through it with an opened bible.

Biblical Truth

Teaching what the Bible says. Every believer in Jesus needs to hear this. Repent the Kingdom of Hod is at hand.

Well written, supported by scripture, essential Christian teachings

Well written, supported by scripture, essential Christian teachings. This book presents the foundation of faith as it was written long before the development of sects, denominations and divisions. Simply the word of the Lord and His Appointed apostles.

Not just another evangelical book

It makes you think. The author talks about 6 elementary principles with different definitions than what I grew up with in church and college. It's a good read.

Excellent!!! The right place to begin!

Surely the right place to begin is the beginning! Mr. Lancaster does a superb job of guiding the reader through the why'd and wherefore's of these crucial beginning steps in the life of faith in the Creator. Much is said today about; "Back to Basics" ... well, here it is for the life of faith!

absolutely fundamental

every believer should be reading this. it's foundational to faith in the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua.

Eye Opening Principles of the Faith

I strongly recommend this book. When I came to know The Lord in the Christian faith 20 years ago. It's was an amazing time for me finding Jesus The Messiah. But , there was always an unsettling feeling with in me. This book was able to fill in some of those questions I had. So happy that a new journey in Messiah is growing.
