First Fruits of Zion

Is it possible to have the wrong Jesus? Bible critics and scholars are talking about the difference between the Jesus Christ of Christianity and the historical Jesus. But who is the historical Jesus? Jesus is not a one-size-fits all mystic. He wasn't a Christian either. He was a Jew. While stripping back centuries of cultural misinterpretations, Lancaster reveals the historical Jewish Jesus in vivid new strokes and colors that fire the heart and deepen devotion to Him. King of the Jews digs into the history and literature of early Judaism to demonstrate the authenticity of the Gospels and to dispel today's errant re-interpretations of Jesus.

King of the Jews: Resurrecting the Jewish Jesus

History

What does it mean to be grafted in to Israel, and where did Paul get that idea in the first place? Grafted In explores the Jewish theology behind the Pauline inclusion of the Gentiles and considers what it means to be a Messianic Gentile. Easy to read and inspiring, this book is an important correction for the Messianic identity crisis and an encouragement for Jewish and Gentile believers both. From where does Paul derive his conclusions, and what does being grafted in mean? Grafted In is a book for Christians exploring their Hebrew Roots, for Gentiles in Messianic Judaism, and for Jewish believers seeking answers about Paul.

The biblical education of Jewish children begins with Leviticus, a book largely about the sacrificial system. The animal sacrifices, however, are especially repugnant to modern Christians who see them as a temporary provision until Messiahs final atonement for sin. The Torah prescribes a variety of sacrifices, and less than half of these are for sin. Since Yeshua did not abrogate the Torah, neither did he cancel the sacrifices and offerings. By studying the sacrifices we gain insight into Gods instructions for approaching him in worship, and a better understanding of Yeshuas work on our behalf.

Reference

A must read for anyone dealing with Law vs. Grace argument. Mr. Lancaster explains from a Jewish perspective of what Paul was dealing with in reaching the gentiles for Christ. He breaks down each passage in Galatians and gives biblical reason why Paul wrote what he did.

The Holy Epistle to the Galatians: Sermons on a Messianic Jewish Approach

Jesus has a reputation as a Sabbath-breaker. Most of his conflicts with Jewish religious leaders concerned the observance of the Sabbath. Christianity is comfortable with that allegation on the basis that Jesus cancelled the ceremonial Law, but when Jesus is seen as an observant Jew who "did not come to abolish the Law" (Matthew 5:17), how can his Sabbath conflicts be reconciled? If the Jewish Jesus did not observe the Sabbath, he broke God's commandments and invalidated his messianic claims. His critics declared, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath" (John 9:16). D. Thomas Lancaster brings a surprising and fresh Messianic Jewish reading of the Gospel's Sabbath stories that overturns the theological tables of conventional interpretation. Lancaster opens a whole new chapter on Jesus, guaranteed to change the way we think about the Master's relationship to Judaism and the holy Sabbath day. A must-read for every serious disciple.

Bible readers generally understand Galatians as Pauls dissertation against the Torah and against Judaism. More than any other book of the New Testament, Galatians defines the line between Messianic Judaism and greater Christianity. Paul was a prodigy educated in the most elite schools of Pharisaism. He wrote and thought from that Jewish background, rendering several key passages of his work incomprehensible to readers unfamiliar with rabbinic literature. This collection of sermons on a Messianic Jewish approach to Galatians opens Pauls world and provides the historical Jewish context necessary to decipher the epistle. In an easy-to read, narrative style, Torah Club author D. Thomas Lancaster, takes his readers from one end of the epistle to the other, challenging conventional interpretations and offering new insights to reveal the Jewish Paul.
