Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus

In the last couple of years, I have developed a deep hunger for the ‘meat’ of what the Bible is really saying and teaching. My desire seems to be met through understanding the ‘Jewishness of Jesus’ and the Hebrew culture of both the Old and New Testament scriptures. One such book that has been immensely helpful is Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus by Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg.
Chapter three “Stringing Pearls” truly awakened me to the mastery of Jesus’s teachings especially with regards to the Old Testament or Tanakh. “To increase the impact of a statement, rabbis would quote part of a Scripture and then let their audience fill in the rest.” Armed with this new understanding, the Old Testament has taken on new life for this gentile follower of Christ.
