    About this audiobook

    What would it be like for modern readers to sit down beside Jesus as he explained the Bible to them? What life-changing insights might emerge from such a transformative encounter? Lois Tverberg knows the treasures that await readers willing to learn how to read the Bible through Jewish eyes. By helping them understand the Bible as Jesus and his first-century listeners would have, she bridges the gaps of time and culture in order to open the Bible to readers today. Combining careful research with engaging prose, Tverberg leads us on a journey back in time to shed light on how this Middle Eastern people approached life, God, and each other. She explains age-old imagery that we often misinterpret, allowing us to approach God and the stories and teachings of Scripture with new eyes. By helping readers grasp the perspective of its original audience, she equips them to read the Bible in ways that will enrich their lives and deepen their understanding.

      10 Jewish Biblical Facts That Hardly Any Christians Know…

      Oct 28, 2022

      As a new believer in Yeshua (Jesus), I assumed I was no longer Jewish—that believing in this Jewish Man had nothing in common with Jewishness. However, after reading the New Testament, I was shocked to find out that it was a Jewish book, telling a Je

      Title: Reading the Bible with Rabbi Jesus (How a Jewish Perspective Can Transform Your Understanding)Author: Lois TverbergPages: 288Year: 2018Publisher: Baker BooksMy rating 5+ out of 5 stars.There are many nuggets of wisdom, knowledge, along with a transparency of the author’s own walk in learning how a Jewish perspective changed her reading and walk with God! The book is written with such simplicity that anyone can read and learn as well as further investigate what is written after each chapter. After reading, seekers of the Lord will be able to search Scriptures listed and answer questions along with viewing a short list of other sources for going deeper in one’s understanding. In the back of the book are listed Appendixes of Books of the Tanak, Thirty Useful Hebrew Words for Bible Study and Bible translations for Word Study. I found these helpful as well as the pages titled Notes by Chapter and Recommended Resources.What drew me to this book? Well, to be honest, I want to go deeper with God. I want to understand His Word and be able to handle it properly. Some of the resources intimidated me as well as the thought of studying Hebrew or Greek, but then the Holy Spirit reminded me that He will show me what He wants me to do and not do. I am one who doesn’t have the gift of languages. However, there are other tools and resources I can use to learn many things to help deepen and broaden my view and understanding of Scripture. There are also many tools in various mediums to help me understand the biblical language without being outside my gifts by trying to master a language. So, don’t let anything keep you from reading the book and utilizing whatever God has for you as you draw nearer to Him; He will lead you!I underlined and wrote in almost every chapter with such an excitement burning in my heart and desire to take the next step in understanding and knowledge. I have also come to understand that without me being dependent on the Holy Spirit to help me, it would be a fruitless endeavor. So, looking ahead as this 2018 year progresses, I cannot wait to see all that He has for me and be in awe of such a magnificent God in Heaven! Will you join me?

      Lois Tverberg writes a clear, understandable book explaining the Jewish roots to many of Jesus' teaching. She explains Jewish culture and way of thinking with concrete Biblical and practical examples. Then she applies the technique to Jesus' teachings, both the familiar and the less familiar.This book will help any Christian or any person seeking to understand Jesus in the context of his culture of first-century Judea. Along the way, you will gain a deeper, richer appreciation for the Hebraic way of thinking and understanding scripture longitudinally. This is where scriptures with similar words and phrases are compared with each other. The scriptures from one book illuminate the scriptures in another, adding depth and meaning.This is how Jesus taught His disciples. By reading this book, you will gain the same insights.
