It's hard to know how to review this when you don't know if the thesis is right. I grew up Jewish before becoming a Christian, and I still find it hard to believe, in the light of scholarship and what we have from ancient writings, that we can know that Jesus spoke Hebrew. The authors do not offer enough proof. This is the type of scholarship I have learned to beware of. There is too much evidence in the New Testament that Jesus spoke Aramaic. Who knows, He probably grew up in a trilingual culture--Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Students in Ukraine speak Ukrainian at school and Russian at the playground. And the USA has tens of millions that need English and Spanish to make it though a day. Ever go to Williamsburg, New York? Hassidic Jewish children reading the Torah in Hebrew and the Talmud in Hebrew and Aramaic, while speaking Yiddish and learning English, need four languages in a day's time.Well, maybe I'm wrong. But as a former professor, I detect a real lack of scholarship and convincing evidence.

This book is an excellent resource for Bible Study. We'll never truly know ourselves as Christians until we know who we are as followers of the Jew, Jesus.

An essential primer for understanding the Gospel message in the proper context of its Hebraic setting, second only to "Our Father Abraham" by Dr. Marvin Wilson, or "Jesus The Jewish Theologian" by Dr. Brad Young. "Understanding . . ." primarily covers the misconceptions of a Greek-based Gospel, clarifying the point of our Hebrew-based Gospel Vorlage, and our Hebrew Messiah (Jesus). If you desire to know the God Whom Jesus came to reveal, this book confronts our misconceptions concerning the God we serve, and His Messiah.
