This book is important not but for reconciling Jew and Christian, but also for all the earth's various sects. All men seek God. This "joining of the sticks" is the fulfillment of God's Truthful Will, the grafting in of all His People. This text allows the historically 'real' Jesus to shine through. This is washed in the book by simplifying, clarifying and illustrating the beauty and ability of His Message to the people who lived around him and thus to the people of our world. I would absolutely recommend this book to all those seeking to observe an accurate Christ.

Anyhow it is always with caution and also an open up mind that I approach reads
Although I establish what I was reading to be interesting and in some cases quite educational I cannot quite give it 5 or even 4 stars since I am more than certain the copy I received isn't a whole volume. The reason that I say this is since this Gospel only ends upon Chapter 5 if you volition while the Gospel has 21 and furthermore the bodily folio that first pulls up states that it has more 300 pages but mine simply had 87.Anyway it is e'er with caution and also an open mind that I approach reads like this. Sometimes they make sense and provide a calorie-free but also at other times you have to wonder what the writer is thinking about or even what their covered motives may be. Fortunately for me in this case this is one of those books that will take the reader opening up their mind and seeing some of the events of John in a meliorate light than what nosotros ordinarily view it as while also providing some historical information that helps to give more background than what one normally gets.
The only complaint with the exception that the book wasn't complete and is requiring y'all to buy the whole thing to re-read it was that some of the writing was a chip on the dry out side. In these cases information technology was either repetitive or merely seemed to take forever to become to the point. Fortunately if the reader can but put upward with a flake of that they volition detect that in that location is truly a gem to exist found at the end of the barrage.
So it is that I can say that so far in what I have read that I would recommend the book to fellow readers who may be interested in the historical, cultural or commentary format every bit long as I finish where I am. For a total recommendation it is going to have to expect until I get a chance to read the whole volume instead of simply this portion.

This volume immune me to more readily see the Hebraic mindset of the Gosp I of my favorite parts of the volume was the author'south presentation of the Samaritan woman's meeting with Yeshua at the well. It was refreshing to see Yeshua's words give value to her and those words welling up as His witness. I too liked learning what the words, "the Jews" actually hateful, (although I am unable to pronounce the word Ioudaioi) and your reference to them as a sub-group who rejected Yeshua instruction and purpose.
This book allowed me to more readily run into the Hebraic mindset of the Gospel of John. It also immune me to focus on Yochanan'south agreement of Yeshua's dear for him. He, Yochanan, (John) received Him (Yesua) unto Himself. I volition certainly recommend this book to my friends.

The Gospel of John has often been viewed equally anti-Jewish. Indeed, information technology can easily seem that way to modern ears. Just the author believes that changes when viewed with a Commencement-Century lens.

The Gospel of John refocused on the First Century earth.The Gospel of John has oftentimes been viewed as anti-Jewish. Indeed, information technology tin easily seem that way to modern ears. Simply the author believes that changes when viewed with a Start-Century lens. At that time, what John calls "the Jews" was only 1 function of the Hebraic faith - the part that religiously followed the Judean religious government centered in Jerusalem. The Samaritan's, Essenes, and others followed the God of Abraham and Moses, simply not the religious establishment of Judea. The author believes that the Gospel of John is written to all of those groups , and possibly especially to the Samaritans. (He sees the Samaritans as being nearly every bit numerous as the Judean adherents in that day.) The writer also believes that Jesus saw the Judean religious system (peculiarly the Pharisees) as being most correct theologically, but also as being thoroughly corrupted politically by their animalism for power.

The author shares interesting insights into the text from Jewish and Christian theology perspectives but too cultural and linguistic aspects. At times through he goes superficial and fails to accost issues exposed. Definitely worth the read

I really enjoyed reading the book and I recall it was excellently written. The author stated his objective clearly, argued persuasively, and used the right amount of historical data, literary assay, and theological support to brand his case. Moreover, this was done in a very easy to read manner-I didn't want to put the volume down!Dr. Eli stressed a bespeak that is critical for understanding his argument: Biblical texts weren't written with us modern folks in listen, or even more, to settle 17th century protestant-Roman Catholic disputes. They were written to a item people at a particular time, and then any interpretation and/or awarding must start with this context. Within this context, Dr. Eli makes a very convincing example that the gospel of John's point was to accomplish the northern tribes of Israel. Throughout the entire book he demonstrates more than once how the Greek term, Ioudaioi, normally translated equally "Jews", depicts a group of people who at times seem pro-Jesus and other times anti-Jesus, ought to be thought of equally a divers group of Israelites who controlled the temple and were the power aristocracy in the southern kingdom of Israel. Dr. Eli argues Jesus was a fellow member of this grouping, the Ioudaioi. This fact, Jesus being an Ioudaioi, causes the apparent contradictions in the text to disappear considering the author of John was trying to convince the Samaritan Jews that Jesus, while an "Ioudaioi", was not part of the power elite simply the true King of Israel, true-blue to their appreciation of the Torah.
I also establish his discussion relating John's narration to Ezekiel's prophecies fascinating. This augments his argument that John was trying to persuade Samaritan Jews that Jesus was the legitimate King of Israel, that Jesus was the one who would unite Joseph (i.due east. the ten Northern Tribes) and Judah (the southern Kingdom) per the dry basic coming to life vision.
Dr. Eli doesn't hide his bias as a Christian, but does keep his commentary objective, giving "air time" to some things that would brand a lot of church people uneasy. I applaud this.
Lastly, from a personal spiritual growth perspective, I found this to exist invaluable teaching. Not just did I learn in my head more nigh the God I love, many times while reading this book I was moved emotionally, at times to tears, as I came to better know in my heart this person, Jesus, whom I also telephone call God. I recollect anyone looking for didactics, inspiration, or fifty-fifty only information volition find this book well worth the time reading it.
Dr. Eli ends by noting that wrong Bible interpretation is one of if non the biggest cistron behind the centuries of Jewish persecution past Christians. This book takes a commendable step in promoting healing the wounds acquired past this evil. I think both Christians and modern traditional Jews would do good from learning as much as we can about the Jewish culture of 2000 years agone that produced both trajectories. Nosotros would all exercise well to try to find the things in both the Jewish and Christian traditions that are more closely connected to that fourth dimension period and consider or reconsider how we do things today, be willing to admit our faults, and be willing to alter cherished traditions based on wrong Bible interpretation. I hope reading this book will inspire you to do that-information technology will most certainly bring glory to God.

Don't Expect to Read this Book!Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg has effectively captured the content of John's Jewish Gospel. Following with him as he goes affiliate to chapter through John helps yous sympathise the history of many things including the importance of the Israel/Samaria relationship and how John reached out to unite both groups in his gospel. That being said, affiliate 4 of Yeshua's run across with the woman from Samaria was very enlightening and had me glued to my chair. I'll never again view this outstanding Samaritan adult female the same.
I also appreciated how the volume breaks down various other groups within Israel including those specifically inside the "Judean leadership" whom Dr. Eli identifies as the Ioudaioi (normally carelessly translated broadly and understood as "all Jews"). The Jewish Gospel of John effectively points out the mistake of the "traditional reading" of this gospel in which ane can easily mistakenly lump all Jews into ane basket and thus pass judgment on the Jewish people as a whole for the crucifixion of Yeshua. The Ioudaioi (Jewish leadership) by no means speaks for all of State of israel.
Another important theme in this volume is learning well-nigh the connexion between the Son of Man in John and how his gospel links this aforementioned Son of Man thought with that of the prophets Ezekiel, Daniel and Zechariah. Having this cognition helps one have a better understanding between John'due south gospel and the prophets in the Hebrew Scriptures, something many believers would benefit from and should contain into their theology. I was as well fascinated with the importance of the disciples' part after the ascent of Yeshua. They were to continue being gatherers of "all the lost sheep of the house of Israel" into His kingdom. I, like the author, as well believe in the restoration of the nation of Israel being gathered into 1 unit under the kingship of our Lord and Messiah Yeshua – the exclusive fulfillment of the two sticks becoming one in Messiah (Ezek. 37:fifteen-28). We are now seeing this being fulfilled in the Terminal Days with the Lord gathering State of israel from among the nations of the world and returning them to their homeland! We see this mission to the Jews specifically beginning in and flowing from John'south gospel ("Feed My sheep") into the early chapters of Acts. Perhaps Dr. Eli would continue to enlighten us by later writing a book on Acts including the theme of "To the Jew beginning and then to the Gentiles"! When more than Gentile believers wake up to the fact that they should be working together with Jewish believers to accomplish the multitudes who are lost in darkness, I believe more than people will come to "the light" and turn toward righteousness. This type of evangelistic outreach will usher the quick return of our Lord Yeshua!
If y'all are looking for a solid book that is easy, enjoyable to read and one which will aid your agreement of our Jewish Messiah Yeshua and His mission for the Church, then this is your book! I highly recommend it.

Dr. Eli (every bit his students phone call him), tells usa in the preface that the book of John has been a xx year challenge for him. Equally a Jewish believer in Jesus, he struggled with the supposed Anti-Semitic content of the book and the traditional interpretations of what he terms 'my favorite Gospel' to back up ideas that in fact are not supported past the context. He achieves his purpose of showing that the Gospel of John can be both an anti-Jewish and pro-Jewish book at the same time. His perspective is well researched and endorsed by many prominent scholars.
The author's insights into the diverse groups and sects interacting during the 2d Temple period, and specifically during the writing of the Gospel are amazing. The picture he draws of the story that the author of John tells comes live as one reads with the bible in one paw and the commentary in the other.
The Jewish Gospel of John is a refreshing and honest perspective of the Gospel of John in the starting time century context. Information technology takes into account what the original audience would accept heard by using the current scholarship and therefore current understanding of First Century Judaisms. In many cases it overturns traditional views of the Gospel because the history, as a result of the new scholarship, just doesn't support the old traditional views. My students accept been pleasantly surprised by this commentary and are eager to nourish classes considering as ane of my students has opined "this answers the questions I accept had for so many years and makes bible written report new and exciting again!". I would recommend this to bible teachers and bible students alike. It is a clear, non-technical and narrative like commentary that walks the reader step past step through the Gospel as if the reader lived at the fourth dimension. Neat read!
...more The author states that one of his reasons for believing this book deserves a broad audition is to attain those who would be challenged to rethink theological interpretations and their powerful implications for history and the life of real people - Jewish or otherwise. I can safely say, that the book accomplishes this successfully.
