I had to give up my library when I entered a nursing home. Recently,, my evangelical best friend Donna is open to some study Bibles and has the Jewish The Oxford Jewish Bile on order.
I work not to interfere with her Christin life of my friend but her influence encouraged to reread the New Testament, I am using this workwewe as one of primary sources.
Your review is excellent.
I don't agree with everything in it, but I find this edition of the New Testament to be quite valuable in tracking down relevant rabbinical resources.
Thanks for your review. I have had this volume for quite a few months.
I agree with you, the articles are superb, and the editors don't have an axe to grind against Christianity.
As with you, I don't agree with all the commentary notes, but that is to be expected.
My biggest complaint is that the study notes are not nearly comprehensive enough. I wish they had gone into more detail. Certainly the volume would have been much thicker, but that's what one expects in a study bible.
All in all, a good volume. But it leaves me wanting, and somewhat disappointed.
Thank you, JM. Great review. Very informative. Home run, Brother!!!🔥🌹🌹🔥
Thanks for the review! Very thorough. Will buy this for sure. If you believe in Pauline authorship of the Pastoral letters it would be interesting to hear you in depth on that.
I don't know if there's much to say other than the texts claim to be by Paul, the early Church unanimously believed they were by Paul, and nothing in the content makes me think they couldn't be by Paul. I've never seen a non-subjective, non-circular argument for why they are not.
The "callous" interpretation makes sense in a conversation that uses "propagation" as a metsphor. In gardening lingo, grafting or layering branches will produce a callous. Many hardwood cuttings are allowed to form a callous before rooting out. I'm a nerd. So I have made a partial list of "propagation" language in the OT and NT, for later study.
It's an interesting take...but I believe it doesn't do justice to the overall argument Paul is making in 9-11 and his agony regarding Jews who are currently rejecting Jesus as Messiah, IMO.
@@DiscipleDojo I agree with you. I think it has to be taken as "hardening of hearts/hearing" as in Exodus, Isaiah, Jeremiah, the gospels, etc. It's advantagous for Paul that the metaphor fits, rhetorically.
This looks really interesting something I'd like to read at some point. I'm doing a chronological 90-day read and just finished the OT and went on a tangent last night reading about the Intertestamental period before I jump into the NT today. This is the first time I've read the entire OT. I took so many notes of things I want to learn about more later.
Maybe read Qur'an too 😊
You teach so clearly and convey a ton of information so well! Thank you!
Love the recommendation to read the essays first. Would you recommend the same with the Jewish annotated apocryphal?
Yes!
@@DiscipleDojo #New reading plan.... Engage!
This is a weekly go to when I prepare my sermons.
I just finished this yesterday, this was so amazing, I want an old testament with the same kind of notes as this had (a modern jewish scholars perspective on these texts including new testament references, in a 1st-2nd century jewish perspective)
I was looking forward to your thoughts on this book! I was so excited when I saw your review pop up on my YT feed. Are the annotations new to this book or are they the same annotations from the Oxford Annotated Bible? (I'm wondering if the unique material is restricted to the essays.)
Two entirely different projects.
@@DiscipleDojo Thank you!
I appreciate your review!
One should not look at the NT through a Judaism lense, because modern Judaism came into being AFTER 200AD. One has to look at the NT through 2nd Temple period Jews. One major difference is 2nd Temple Jews taught and believed is "Two Powers of Heaven" doctrine, which is where the Trinity is derived. (Just one example)
Thanks for an amazing review! I'm adding this one to my cart as I finish watching your video. Sounds like an excellent resource for someone (like me!) who is in Jewish ministry.
What is Jewish ministry? Is that trying to convert Jews to Christianity?
@@stephenfisher3721 Hi Stephen! I don't love the word "convert."
It's about sharing Yeshua, the Jewish messiah, with my Jewish brothers and sisters, so that they can come into a full understanding of the gospel. I also share with Christian churches about the Hebrew roots of our faith.
@@MariahCharnockoh please do. We need it. God has given me such a love for all of you and opened my eyes to why some Jewish don’t want to hear about our Messiah Yeshua. I love all things Jewish now and I don’t understand it. I eat differently and that developed before I even understand some Jewish things. I love my Hebrew brother and sisters and this goyim longs to worship with all of you. I even think we should do the feasts but rarely is that received well by anyone. They don’t get mad they just say “Christ fulfilled the law” I then tell them when I looked deeper he fulfilled the law and sin and death. He fulfilled the spring feasts was it? Yeah so revelation is fulfilling the other feats right? And we should keep the law out of love for Yeshua and not out of legalism. I’m still trying to understand what God wants me to. Keep reaching us and never stop. We need our Hebrew siblings in the fold with us. We need our unity in Yeshua back, and we need to be together again. We need you guys to teach us what the Roman’s lied to us about.
Amy Jill Levine has some great books and videos out ❤
Huh! Understanding Paul in a Jewish context would be invaluable.
It definitely is!
Great review 💪🏼🔔✅
Wow. I really appreciate the depth of your review. Personally I consider myself Messianic but a gentile not Jewish. I see Messianic Judaism as an extension of Judaism that accepts Jesus as Messiah but the expression and theology of which varies across a spectrum. It goes a bit deeper than Christian theology in a Jewish setting.
Do you have all 3 volumes in this "set"? Do you recommend all three? Was any of them a standout over the others?
Would you ever consider reviewing The Lutheran Study Bible by Concordia?
I will be reviewing the Lutheran Study Bible by Augsburg sometime this Summer hopefully.
Re. Romans 11:
(17) The greek word translated as "cut off" is also used to describe a "broken toe" in other greek writings. NRSV translates it as "broken off." Now, one's toe may be broken, but that doesn't imply broken off, severed.
(22) To prove the above point. The greek translated as "will be cut off" is the actual word for pruning, cutting off. Paul makes the distinction.
(25) The word used for "hardening" (sclerosis), often to Pharaoh's heart, is *not* used here. Instead, this verse uses the word (parosis), a term for "callous" in greek medical literature . They (sclerosis, parosis) are not found to be synonymous in greek medical literature.
The callous that is formed around the broken bark of an injured branch serves to protect the tree from disease and subsequent death. So, the callous (hardening) is positive in nature.
(26) "All Israel will be saved." Paul gives 2 reasons why this is true. Current interpretations of the previous verses render this statement a non-sequitor. Thus, it becomes a "mystery." However, the language is crystal clear.
I just watched a presentation by Mark Nanos, and I found it quite convincing. Heiser also agreed with these concepts.
❤
See Jason Staples' response to Nanos in "Paul and the Resurrection of Israel" for why that is not what is happening in Romans 11.
@DiscipleDojo Ok I will. ☺️
interesting book, i would like to check it
I was a Jew. I'm a Christian now. Partly due to a read-through of this resource. However, I still have a lot of issues with antisemitic events and thoughts expressed in the Christian testament and the actions of Jesus that violate aspects of Jewish law. My masters is in Hebrew Bible, though, so it's not my primary area of expertise. But as a Jew, I would have considered it an insult to refer to messianics as Jews.
Messianics don't consider it an insult, so I don't either.
@@DiscipleDojo I understand that. But as messianism was a Christian invention to convert Jews and is therefore Christian -- which is by nature therefore not Jewish -- perhaps Jewish voices should lead here.
I really enjoy your channel. I'm not trolling. I'm just giving the perspective of Jewish thought I am familiar with, which spans orthodox to reconstructionist and even humanist. I was a Conservative Jew.
Sorry. I didn't come here to debate messianism. I didn't mean to start anything and I'm happy to delete my posts if you'd prefer. I just wanted to express excitement about a resource that brought me to this faith.
I think you are wise. Now consider what Jesus said about when he would return and place yourself in the crowd he was speaking to. Remember he wasn't a liar.
Can you tell me if Jeremiah is the longest book the Bible? One OT Scholar says it is the longest based on the Hebrew words. And another says it’s the second longest after Psalms but doesn’t say what he based it off of.
I've never counted.
It certainly feels like it 😂
It’s funny because Jews contradict themselves when they say prophecy doesn’t happen when half of the Tanakh is prophecy. My artscroll even admits to it. “You are teachers of Yisrael, yet you do not know these things?” Just keeps whispering in my head…
As someone who considers himself on the path of a Torah-Observant Christian (albeit holding true to the Doctrine of Grace) I think books like this are important for reclaiming some of the Jewishness of Christianity that was seemingly rooted-out throughout Church History...no I'm not a Hebrew Roots guy, I believe Torah-Observance has more to do with the process of Sanctification than anything to do with achieving Salvation, Torah has never accomplished that only the Grace of God has, but that doesn't really mean we should throw out the baby with the bathwater, and I don't believe Jesus preached that either.
I just have found out that before it was called Christianity it was called the way, and messianic Judaism is what was practice before the Roman’s did what they did. I personally think as long as the gospel is preached and the Ruach Hakodesh is allowed to do what He does, I see no issue with the messianc Judaism. I’m close to living the same as they do. God is cleaning his house.
It was indeed called "the Way." But within the lifetime of the Apostles the followers of the Way had already become largely gentile (cf. Rom 11), so it's not accurate to say the approach practiced today among Messianic Jews is either monolithic, or was the norm in the first century. From the beginning Messiah's Body was made up of "every tribe, nation, people, and language."
@@DiscipleDojo Yes I agree on that part, but the deeper we go it seems they kept the biblical feasts and even gentiles did. The more that I see that. It seems in Isaiah that God talks about us keeping his feasts too, and in the end that we will. So I’m trying to understand. Because it seems God has been leading me to this and not only me. The Holy Spirit led me to these things. So I’m just trying to dig deeper and understand what God wants from me. And I told him I would unlearn things and learn what he wants me to. I also have a urge to learn Hebrew and sing in it. God wants something. In this way I think that fulfill means something deeper and it’s more than modern Christians think. So I want to dig deeper. I went to a messianic synagogue and the Holy Spirit was definitely in the rabbi and the people but a fire has been lost. We need to come back together. For some reason many gentiles are opposed to this and some say that the Jews rejected Jesus so it was gentiles who followed. I keep trying to tell them Jesus came to lost sheep of Israel first and the the gentiles and many Jews came to the faith before gentiles, and then the body was fully mixed all over. I don’t understand where the catholic traditions came from. And it’s cool that you answered me back brother. I’ve been thinking about getting that abide Bible, but I don’t think it’s in ESV. Sad. But I’m enjoying exploring all kinds of translations, because I almost fell for the KJV only thing until I studied for myself. Thank you for your feedback and I enjoy all your Bible review videos. I don’t understand the premium Bible thing yet, what do you make of that? Shouldn’t a Bible get worn out?
@@DiscipleDojo Also I didn’t know what monolithic was, thank you for that. No I didn’t think it was monolithic. But I do want my messianic brothers and sisters to be accepted not pushed away.
@@Servant_of_Yeshua96 did you see my discussion here on the channel with Isaac Paley on Jesus and the Rabbis? We talked about a lot of these very questions!
I have this book, the first edition in fact. This is such a blasphemous book I don't even know where to begin. I'll quote one though, in the introduction of the book of Acts They literally say; 'Acts presents Jesus, rather then the emperor, as the true savior of the world.' (pg. 198 1st edition) Pilate had jesus crucified! How on earth is the emperor even considered as the true savior?!? To get to the meat & bones of what they believe in, I think this book is a good insight into some of their beliefs. I'm glad I got this book in mint condition for 75 cents at a Goodwill because this thing is expensive if you were to buy this book brand new. And in the essay portion towards the end of the book, (pg. 570) they consider Mt. 8:22, Lk.6:1-5 as a great "controversy" because they don't understand it when we know exactly what jesus meant when He said; 'Let the dead bury the dead.' Jesus implies to the would-be disciple to let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead, is all this means. This is what separates us from the Jewish religion, we have a relationship with Jesus, not a religion. Christ gives us the spirit of discernment to know these things. Anyway there's a lot of things that to me is just heretical in this book. I'm so happy that I know Jesus, The Bible is not just a book to me.
I have to say that I can not read Paul. I think the content should not have made in to the New Testament.
This resource might change your mind.
@@DiscipleDojo Uhhh!! I am going to buy it then.
NT has pagan influences, Paul is quoting pagan philosophers. For more info, do watch
'Pagan influences' on the Christian Gospels & Paul, Blogging Theology
Nah. The NT is no more pagan-influenced than the Hebrew Bible. Both speak into the surrounding cultures using images and concepts that resonate with readers. See our "Backgrounds of the Bible" playlist for numerous examples.
There is no such thing as "Jewish New Testament"!
I think this comment might get deleted but why in this modern age do people cling to the nonsense contained in these antiquated myths?
Maybe try asking them sometime instead of making smug and condescending posts online.
because they want to? why people come to videos they don't support or like to comment things like this?
The Pope assembled the Bible 💫
