Following Christ: Rediscovering the Jewish Faith of Jesus
Christianity has obscured the fact that Jesus taught Judaism. This loss is visible in many ways, such as the misinterpretation of many New Testament Scriptures. This book rediscovers the unyielding, even strengthened, commitment to the Law by Jesus and the New Testament authors. With both Bible citations and historical references, this book restores a full understanding of the gospel of the Jewish kingdom. Because Jesus taught Judaism, His followers in the New Testament obeyed the Torah with a New Testament freedom and power. They did not ignore, disdain, or dismiss the Torah as obsolete, which Christianity habitually does today. The reader will be equipped to resist that historical Christian habit and enjoy an Old Testament walk with God with New Testament forgiveness, freedom, and power. Once armed with this perspective on Jesus, the teacher of Judaism, the reader will understand the New Testament and the gospel with far greater clarity and accuracy. The Christian will be able to see how the Old Testament Law is empowered by the New Testament, rather than discarded.
