Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus:

"Drawing upon personal experiences as well as the latest Jewish and Christian scholarship in Israel, the authors skillfully guide you on a wonderful journey into Jesus' first-century Jewish world--exploring his culture, his lifestyle as an itinerant sage, and his well-honed rabbinic teaching methods and subtle but startling messianic claims. This book makes you really eager to sit at the feet of Rabbi Jesus and learn from the One we joyously serve as both Messiah and Lord. I commend it to every follower of Jesus of Nazareth."

--Dwight A. Pryor, Center for Judaic-Christian Studies

The WOW factor

I will never read the scriptures the same again. Life changing perspective. Remarkable narration. WOW!

Excellent book

I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of Jesus' life and teaching. My only negative comment would be that the pronunciation of Hebrew in the audiobook recording was very American, but that's certainly a minor point

insight to more knowledge

Loved it very insightful, worth reviewing again. New knowledge of old ways for a heartfelt life.

My only criticism

My only criticism is that the sound of this book seems to be inconsistent the volume seems to increase and decrease often

worth listening to multiple times

there is definitely enough material in this to be worth repeated listening. it opens more of scripture to those of us without a Jewish background

Must Read

We read this book for our short group study. I highlighted more than I left plain. It’s amazing how putting things in context is so enlightening. If you want to understand Jesus better read this book.

Wonderful, insightful and captures the imagination

This was a wonderful read that I will read again! It really captures the readers imagination and brings an understanding to Jesus as Rabbi! Every Christian who takes their faith seriously should read this and see another side of Jesus like light hitting a diamond from a different angle! Cheers!

Wow Jesus and the Bible are ALIVE

Up to chapter three and already experiencing fresh explosion of the life and connections of Jesus within cultural and biblical context of his day. A must read for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of Jesus… the Jewish Rabbi

Learning what some of the words that Jesus used really mean

I will need to read this book again to really digest everything. There was a lot to learn

Loved this book!

This book renewed my love for the Old Testament and gave e me new intrigue for Jewish culture.
