The Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon
|
Francis Brown, C. Briggs, S.R. Driver |
A trio of eminent Old Testament scholars, Francis Brown, R. Driver, and Charles Briggs, spent over twenty years researching, writing, and preparing this lexicon. Since it first appeared in the early part of the twentieth century, BDB has been considered the finest and most comprehensive Hebrew lexicon available to the English-speaking student. Based upon the classic work of Wilhelm Gesenius, the "father of modern. Hebrew lexicography," BDB gives not only dictionary definitions for each word, but relates each word to its Old Testament usage and categorizes its nuances of meaning. BDB's exhaustive coverage of Old Testament Hebrew words, as well as its unparalleled usage of cognate languages and the wealth of background sources consulted and quoted, render BDB and invaluable resource for all students of the Bible. |

Meet The Rabbis: Rabbinic Thought and the Teachings of Jesus
|
Dr. Brad H. Young |
What does Jesus' Sermon on the Mount have in common with the ancient literature of the Jewish rabbis? Much more than most Jewish and Christian people often realize! Jesus was addressed as rabbi, as were the most devout teachers in the synagogues of his day. Despite the common values and Scriptures shared by these two great religions, many Christians have little knowledge of the great Jewish rabbis who wrote from the time of Jesus and the writing of the New Testament in the first centrury to the completion of the Talmud in the seventh century. Young believes this ignorance of the important literature and religious leaders of that period has caused an unnecessary division between the adherents of both religions.

| Jesus the Rabbi (and his Rabbinic Method of Teaching) |
Roy B. Blizzard, Ph.D. |
Jesus the Rabbi is an excellent compliment to the CD Series, "Jesus the Rabbi" and "Who is Jesus Anyway?" It describes the first century Rabbi, the methods of teaching they used and illustrates that Jesus serves as the best example of the life and teaching of a first century Rabbi of any known from Jewish history. The similarity to Jesus' teachings and those of rabbis both preceding and following him is striking. The comparison with the teaching of Jesus and those of the rabbis of the Mishnah is both interesting and illuminating. (76 pages) |

Jesus the Jewish Theologian
|
Dr. Brad H. Young |
Establishing Jesus firmly withing the context of first-century Judaism, Jesus the Jewish Theologian shows how understanding Jesus' Jewishness is crucial for interpreting the New Testament and for understanding the nature of Christian faith. Insights from Jewish literature, archeology, and tradition help modern readers place Jesus withing his original context. Particular attention is given to the Jewsh roots of Jesus' teaching concerning the kingdom of God. |

Jesus and His Jewish Parables
|
Dr. Brad Young |
In a radical new conclusion, Young maintains that the kingdom of heaven theme-so essential for a proper understanding of Jesus' message-is not an eschatological concept designed to forewarn of imminent catastrophe but rather a technical term Jesus employed to speak of God's reign as a present reality among those who have accepted the call to obey the divine will. |

Paul The Jewish Theologian
|
Dr. Brad Young |
Paul the Jewish Theologian reveals Saul of Tarsus as a man who, though rejected in the synagogue, never truly left Judaism. Author Brad Young contends with long held notions that Hellenism was the context which most influenced Paul's communication of the Gospel. This skewed notion has led to widely divergent interpretations of Paul's writings. Only in rightly aligning Paul as rooted in his Jewishness and training as a Pharisee can he be correctly interpreted. Young asserts that Paul's view of the Torah was always positive and he separates Jesus' mission among the Jews from Paul's call to the Gentiles. Brad Young offers an extremely well-informed, insightful study of Paul as a Jewish theologian....Among the many important qualities Brad Young gained from his years of study from Jewish scholars is a love for and an almost exclusive focus upon the text, what it actually says and does not say; and this perspective has led him to some new, important, and sometimes 'unorthodox' conclusions. |

| A Believer's Guide To Passover |
Roy B. Blizzard, Ph.D. |
More and more believers today are interested in discovering their Hebrew roots. In the search for the true biblical foundations of their faith, they are expressing an ever-increasing interest in re-discovering and re-creating the biblical feasts and festivals. One of the best known of these, the Passover Seder, is a celebration of God's deliverance of His people and an illustration of His salvation, as well as one that touches a spiritual cord in Christian ritual and practice. A festival rich in symbolism, Passover depicts the redemption and deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt. This handbook enables the believer to celebrate this centuries old festival step by step as is done today by observant Jews and believers around the world. Additionally, a comparison is drawn between the Passover festival and the Lord's Supper, or Communion, almost universally observed in Christianity. This handbook will allow you and your friends, or congregation, to celebrate the Passover, as Jesus and His followers did, in your home or church just as it has been observed historically for over 2000 years.

The Jewish Background to the Lord's Prayer
|
Dr. Brad H. Young |
Today, a new generation of disciples is learning, as did the disciples of old, the necessity and the power of prayer. We struggle with prayer, as did they. We, too, ask, "Lord, teach us to pray." Can the time-worn and perhaps overly-familiar words of the "Lord's Prayer" be more than a kind of spiritual pacifier for us today? Are there hidden in these simple words concepts that can stimulate and challenge us? Happily, the answer to both questions is yes, as the reader of this booklet by Brad Young will discover.
