Sentado A Los Pies Del Maestro Jesus: El Trasfondo Judio De Jesus Y Su Impacto En La Fe Cristiana (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Tverberg does a stellar job of unveiling the words of Jesus and some of the classic themes of Scripture. Though I have spent 35 years of my life in study of Scripture for ministry and personal use, she repeatedly surprised me with insights that changed my perceptions of God, and my life in His Kingdom. I have not read the previous volume, "Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus," but plan to do so in the near future. "Examining the words of Rabbi Jesus in the light of their Jewish context will provide a richer, deeper understanding of Jesus' ministry, compelling us to live differently, to become more Christ-like." (From the Zondervan Publishing Company Website).About the Author: Lois Tverberg, PhD, has been writing and teaching about the Jewish background of Christianity for the past fifteen years. With Ann Spangler she coauthored the bestseller, Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus. She is also the author of Listening to the Language of the Bible. Co-founder of the En-Gedi Resource Center, an educational ministry with a goal of deepening Christian understanding of the Bible in its cultural context, she now writes full time from her home in Holland, Michigan. For more, see her website: Our Rabbi Jesus: His Jewish Life and Teaching at ourrabbijesus.comMy Thoughts About the Book" Reading the book Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus is like taking a literal journey back to the time of Christ and walking with him as he walked. The esteemed scholar Lois Tverberg takes a close look at the Jewish context of some of the most significant words that Jesus spoke during his earthly ministry. To fully understand the Words of Christ you must understand the time in which he entered the world, (His Jewish World) and what life was like back then. Context is what is most important to properly understanding and then applying the words of Rabbi Jesus to our lives personally today.There are three sections to the book: "Hearing our Rabbi's Words with New Ears," "Living out the Words of Rabbi Jesus," and Studying the Word of Rabbi Jesus." And it is in the three sections of her book that author Tverberg reveals to us just who the real Jesus was and is and what His words really meant and still mean for us today.Our journey with the author and Jesus in his dust is no boring one to be sure, but rather, it is one that is highly informative, incredibly edifying and faith building, and fully impacting to our faith and life as the reader. So, if you really want to understand some of the most significant words of our Lord and what they mean you will want to take a walk..."A walk in the dust of and with Rabbi Jesus." And I can assure you it will be a walk you will truly find delight in as I did if you are a lover and disciple of Christ.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received the book at no cost from the Zondervan Publishing Company for review purposes.
