Description

The Forgotten Jesus: How Western Christians Should Follow an Eastern Rabbi by Robby Gallaty challenges our understanding of Jesus and his teachings. By exploring the Hebraic culture, customs, and nuances that shaped Jesus' life, Gallaty reveals how our modern approach to understanding the Bible is influenced by Greek and Roman perspectives rather than a Hebrew way of thinking.

This book takes Christians on a biblical journey to rediscover a forgotten Jesus from a Jewish perspective. By uncovering the teaching of first- and second-century rabbis and Christian theologians, Gallaty highlights little-known Jewish idioms and traditions that can deepen our relationship with God. He also examines essential textual connections between the parts of the Bible we often overlook.

Through this exploration, Gallaty argues that as long as Jesus' Jewish context is misplaced and misunderstood, our understanding of the Bible, faith, and the church falls short. This book offers a fresh perspective on the Messiah and the significance of Jesus' words on the cross, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of the Christian faith.
