Critic reviews

Praise for Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus:

"Drawing upon personal experiences as well as the latest Jewish and Christian scholarship in Israel, the authors skillfully guide you on a wonderful journey into Jesus' first-century Jewish world--exploring his culture, his lifestyle as an itinerant sage, and his well-honed rabbinic teaching methods and subtle but startling messianic claims. This book makes you really eager to sit at the feet of Rabbi Jesus and learn from the One we joyously serve as both Messiah and Lord. I commend it to every follower of Jesus of Nazareth."

--Dwight A. Pryor, Center for Judaic-Christian Studies

We read this book for our short group study. I highlighted more than I left plain. It’s amazing how putting things in context is so enlightening. If you want to understand Jesus better read this book.

Wonderful, insightful and captures the imagination

This was a wonderful read that I will read again! It really captures the readers imagination and brings an understanding to Jesus as Rabbi! Every Christian who takes their faith seriously should read this and see another side of Jesus like light hitting a diamond from a different angle! Cheers!

Excellent book

I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of Jesus' life and teaching. My only negative comment would be that the pronunciation of Hebrew in the audiobook recording was very American, but that's certainly a minor point
