Three must-have books for your library! New Light on the Difficult Words of Jesus What if we could step back into the first-century world of Jesus, walking on a dusty road with him as one of his first Jewish disciples? What if we heard his teachings in the context of the rabbinic conversations that surrounded him? Here we examine Jesus’ lifestyle as a first-century Jewish rabbi and look at how his words would have been understood within the larger framework of first-century Judaism. His words will grow in clarity and depth when seen in the light of their original setting. One Foot in Heaven One Foot in Heaven is the intriguing story of Robert L. "Bob" Lindsey's more than four decades in Palestine and Israel, most of the time serving as pastor of a Baptist Church in Jerusalem. No one loved the land of the Bible and the people of the land, including Jews, Arabs, and expatriates, more than Bob Lindsey. With strong faith and a sense of humor he faced the challenges of wars, fire bombing by religious radicals, and losing his left foot from an antipersonnel mine explosion while helping an Arab youth return to Israel. Jesus' Last Week Jerusalem Studies in the Synoptic Gospels, the initial volume, focuses on the Passion Narratives in a search for the Historical Jesus. It also reexamines the synoptic problem in light of recent historical and archaeological research. The volume represents the first attempt by members and associates of the Jerusalem School to apply collectively the methodology pioneered by Robert Lindsey and David Flusser. Included in the volume is the final article written by the late Professor Flusser, The Synagogue and the Church in the Synoptic Gospels. Sign Up for Premium Content Membership Now!
