Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus by Ann Spangler & Lois Tverberg

Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus jumps on the bandwagon of looking at Jesus in his 1st Century context.

Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg share their insights of how learning about Jewish rabbis during the time of Jesus' life will enrich our Christian faith.

By using idioms of the era and the actual words in the original language, they bring light to some of the Bible's more obscure and misunderstood passages.

If nothing else, they add layers and flavors to well-known Bible verses. Such as, do you know why it was such a big deal that David cut off the tassel on King Saul's garment? That event spoke volumes to the Israelites.

And the mysterious Kingdom of God; who gets in and how? Jesus spoke on that topic and yet most American's continue to miss his point.

Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus is a great beginning course in opening the eyes to life in ancient Israel.
