Spangler and Tverberg paint powerful scenes from Jesus' ministry, immersing you in the prayers, feasts, history, culture, and customs that shaped Jesus and those who followed him.

Within Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus, you'll:

  • See the events of Jesus' life in a brand new light
  • Experience new excitement about the roots of your Christian faith

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.

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
