The Hebrew Yeshua vs. the Greek Jesus

Description: The Hebrew Yeshua vs. the Greek Jesus Product Description An astonishing realization has recently gripped the Christian world: "Jesus Christ" was not a blond-haired, blue-eyed Gentile. Yeshua of Nazareth was raised in an observant Jewish family in a culture where the Torah (five books of Moses) was the National Constitution. Yeshua's teachings, which supposedly form the basis for Western Christianity, are now filtered through 2000 years of traditions born in ignorance of the land, language, and culture of the Bible. The issues over which Yeshua wrestled with the Pharisees are simply not understood by modern Christians; nor are his most important instructions followed by those who claim to be his disciples. Former Pharisee, Nehemia Gordon, a Dead Sea Scrolls scholar and Semitic language expert, explores the ancient Hebrew text of the Gospel of Matthew from manuscripts long hidden away in the archives of Jewish scribes. Gordon's research reveals that the more "modern" Greek text of Matthew, from which the Western world's versions were translated, depicts "another Jesus" from the Yeshua portrayed in the ancient Hebrew version of Matthew. Gordon explains the life-and-death conflict Yeshua had with the Pharisees as they schemed to grab the reins of Judaism in the first century, and brings that conflict into perspective for both Jew and Christian alike. Review Gordon places Yeshua into his Hebraic context and allows Yeshua's own words to sparkle within their original Semitic setting! -- Avi Ben Mordechai, Preface Yeshua's brutally honest words in the Hebrew version of Matthew are nothing short of revolutionary for the believer. -- Michael Rood, Introduction About the Author Nehemia Gordon holds a degree in Biblical Studies and Archaeology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Fluent in Hebrew, Gordon has worked extensively with ancient manuscripts and on the publication and translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Today, he divides his time between lecturing on Tanach and Hebrew New Testament topics, teaching Biblical Hebrew to private individuals and small groups, and continuing his research on the Hebrew sources of the New Testament.
