The Teacher of Israel—An Isaac Goldberg Novel

The 21st Century House Churches Series (Book 6)

By: David Michael Curtis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Professor Isaac Goldberg, a renowned Israeli historian, returns from the dead with a secret that will cost him everything. A year stranded on a deserted island with nothing but a King James Bible shattered his academic skepticism and convinced him of an unthinkable truth: Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel.

Back in Jerusalem, his new faith makes him an outcast. To his artist son, Benjamin, he is an apostate who has betrayed his heritage and his late mother’s memory. To his former colleagues at the Hebrew University, he is a man broken by trauma, a brilliant mind lost to a primitive Christian fable.

Cast out and utterly alone, Isaac begins a "church of one" in his silent, dusty apartment. His solitary vigil is soon interrupted by a series of unlikely encounters: a curious Australian traveler, a cynical Russian chess master, and a secret believer living in fear. Together, this small, fractured group must navigate the treacherous waters of their new faith, tackling everything from financial strain and false doctrine to the radical commands of forgiveness and love. Bound by their shared commitment to the sole authority of Scripture, they forge a resilient house church, a testament to the power of a "silent sermon" preached through selfless acts of love.

As their small light begins to shine in the heart of Jerusalem, Isaac holds onto one desperate prayer: that the son who has cast him out will one day be drawn in by the same truth that has given his father a new life. Book 6 of the 21st Century House Churches series, The Teacher of Israel is a powerful novel about the cost of discipleship, the collision of faith and tradition, and the beautiful, painful journey of a father and son finding their way back to each other through the ancient promises of God’s Word.
