Jesus is the best and least known person in all of history. If there is one aspect of his earthly life that has caused the greatest confusion it is his Jewishness. To understand the earthly life of our savior, we must comprehend the Jewish background of everything he said and did. 
As we examine the life and teachings of Jesus with an eye for the Jewish context behind all that he said and did, we will better understand who Jesus is. We will see his humanity as well as his deity. We will understand why he did the things he did. We will renew our love for the Bible Jesus read. We will see Israel through Jesus' eyes. We will understand the words of our rabbi and Messiah. 
This brief account of the Jewishness of Jesus opens a new door to faith in Jesus of Nazareth. Why not start your journey of rediscovering Messiah today?

Atonement is the mystery of God bringing union between himself and humanity, but also more, redeeming the entire cosmos. There is no one story that can contain the full meaning of atonement. From the purification theology of Leviticus, the Presence of God theme of the Hebrew Bible, glimmerings of a divine Messiah, priestly mysteries, and on to the death and glorification of Yeshua, atonement comes to us in metaphors and analogies. Torah itself is open-ended, pointing to an unspecified continuation, and the life, message, and identity of Yeshua are seen to be that continuation. To learn atonement is to penetrate the veil and realize the glories of what is to come.Derek Leman brings together the theology of Leviticus (based largely on the scholarship of Jacob Milgrom) and the meaning of Messiah's death (with attention to the writings of Scot McKnight). In a combination not found in any one place, Leman brings together Torah and Messiah around the great question, "Why atonement?" Far from being a mere theory about arcane, irrelevant matters, atonement is the heart of living in union with God and people.Derek Leman is a rabbi, writer, and speaker in Atlanta, Georgia. His blog at DerekLeman.com frequently addresses issues at the intersection of Judaism and Christianity.
