Sitting at the feet of Rabbi Jesus is an absolute answer to prayer! I have always been intrigued by the culture and lifestyle of ancient Israel and how they translate within the parables of Jesus, as well as his teachings. This book has answered many questions for me and has helped to give me greater insight into Jesus' audience, and to see how down to earth and simple His messages were. No wonder all genders and ages were attracted to his messages and ministry. There is much that can be gleaned and applied to ministry today!

I think the author's, Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg, open up the world of Jesus as seen through Jewish eyes in a way that makes it easy to grasp for those who, perhaps, see things a little too much from a Western perspective. I found the book to be informative and enjoyable to read. So much so that I purchased the second book by Lois Tverberg dealing with a similar theme. Highly recommended!

First book read on the Jewishness of Christ. The book brings the Old Testament into the basis of Christ's life and ours today. This book has been great for Bible Study Groups! The response was fantastic

If you want to put the Bible in context of the culture of the times, this is a very enjoyable easy read that sets the scene for the scripture. I especially enjoyed the chapter explaining the meaning of the table and eating together which adds depth to the meaning of communion. We miss a lot of the meaning of scripture when you try to see scripture through 21st century eyes. This book helps to put scripture in context of the time when it was written.

This book is so good that we are using it for a group study this summer in our Messianic Jewish Fellowship!!
