Resumen del Editor

What difference does it make that Jesus was Jewish?

In this unabridged audio download of Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus, Lois Tverberg challenges listeners to follow their Rabbi more closely by reexamining his words in the light of their Jewish context. Doing so will provide a richer, deeper understanding of his ministry, compelling us to live differently, to become more Christ-like. We'll begin to understand why his first Jewish disciples abandoned everything to follow him, to live out his commands.

Our modern society, with its individualism and materialism, is very different than the tight-knit, family-oriented setting Jesus lived and taught in. What wisdom can we glean from his Eastern, biblical attitude toward life? How can knowing Jesus within this context shed light on his teachings for us today?

In Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus we'll journey back in time to eavesdrop on the conversations that arose among the rabbis of Jesus' day, and consider how hearing Rabbi Jesus with the ears of a first-century disciple can bring new meaning to our faith. And we'll listen to Jewish thinkers through the ages, discovering how ideas that germinated in Jesus' time have borne fruit. Doing so will yield fresh, practical insights for following our Rabbi's teachings from a Jewish point of view.

Excellent and readable

Lois Tverberg's excellent scholarship gives great insight into the scriptures. The reader for this book would have done better if she was familiar with Hebrew pronunciation. Some other words and place names were mispronounced also.

very interesting in faith building

great books showing the jewishness of Jesus. many valuable insights that strengthen your faith in the scriptures.

Must Read

The contextual information of how Jesus’ words and teaching would have sounded to his contemporary listeners is so helpful to understanding the text. And the wisdom of rabbinical interpretation of the Old Testament is also very helpful. Reading with Jewish perspective is illuminating!

there is only one wrong speaking in the book.

revelation 5:19, the narrator speak it to 9:19. thats it. i cant finish all the requirement

Phenomenal

This book fanned the flame of my heart for Jesus and his word, anew and allowed me to see more fully his beautiful character.

Great!

Recommended to me by my grandpa

Didn't disappoint. Provides further context for a few of Jesus's teachings. Clarifies God's ways being so much higher than our own.
