This companion volume to the Jewish New Testament enhances Bible study. Passages and expressions are explained in their original cultural context, the way 1st century Jewish writers meant for them to be understood! Over fifteen years of research and study went into the Jewish New Testament Commentary to make the New Testament more meaningful!
“This period, with its failing eyes, trouble and evil decrees, is referred to” (Matthew 24:1)
“In Judaism the citation of a Scripture text implies the whole context, not merely the quoted words.” (Matthew 2:6)
“The word ‘trinity’ appears nowhere in the New Testament” (Matthew 28:19)
“but to turn his readers’ concern away from animal sacrifices and toward the significance of Yeshua’s final sacrifice” (Hebrews 6:4)
“A good rule of interpretation is that when the literal sense makes good sense, seek no other sense” (Revelation 2:9)
David H Stern born in Los Angeles in 1935, is the great-grandson of two of the city's first twenty Jews. He earned a Ph.D. in economics at Princeton University and was a professor at UCLA. He then received a Master of Divinity degree at Fuller Theological Seminary, did graduate work at the University of Judaism, and was active in the Messianic Jewish movement. Dr. Stern authored the highly acclaimed English translations, the Jewish New Testament, the Jewish New Testament Commentary, and the Complete Jewish Bible which are available from Logos Bible Software.
In 1941, The United States is drawn into World War II. During that same year, Dr. Henry Einspruch publishes his classic book, The Yiddish New Testament, a breakthrough in evangelistic literature for Jewish people. Over the following decades, the publications of Lederer/Messianic Jewish Communications have been widely used to impact thousands of Jewish people with the Good News of Messiah. These books and tracts have been distributed in the Orthodox Jewish community, have been given out to Jews in the former Soviet Union, and have been used by Messianic congregations and Jewish outreaches all over the world. Messianic Jewish Publishers mission is two-pronged: Reaching out to Jewish people with the message of Messiah and teaching the non-Jewish spiritual family about their Jewish roots.
