"In this provocative book, Dr. Brown brings an eye-opening new
dimension to the apologetics of the resurrection. He contrasts the
disciples' testimonies of Jesus (Yeshua) being raised from the dead
with the bizarre beliefs of some past and current Jewish followers
of false messiahs. Readers who appreciate Jewish history and
theology will be stunned by the implications of what is presented
here, since it places Jewish evangelism squarely in the epicenter
of the ultimate destiny of mankind. This book will be of special
value in developing strategies for evangelizing the Orthodox Jewish
sect known as Chabad-Lubavitch, a group that has strong influence
today on Jewish communities throughout the world. Liberal skeptics
of the resurrection--if they have the intellectual honesty to deal
with the arguments presented--will gnash their teeth over this
book."--Jim Melnick, International Coordinator, Lausanne
Consultation on Jewish Evangelism
"Michael Brown's new book provides an absolutely captivating
discussion comparing the recent Messianic claims regarding Rabbi
Menachem Mendel Schneerson with those of Jesus Christ. Particularly
helpful is Brown's approach in identifying and addressing common
concerns regarding Jewish conceptions of a Messiah who not only
dies, but rises, providing many fascinating insights along with
sometimes bizarre stories. Highly recommended."--Gary R. Habermas,
Distinguished Research Professor of Apologetics and Philosophy,
Chair, Department of Philosophy and Theology, Liberty
University"Dr. Michael Brown is the world's premier scholar
addressing Jewish objections to Jesus. In this volume, Brown
assesses several Messianic figures from the past to the present,
with special attention given to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson,
who died in 1994 and whose disciples claim he is alive and lives
among them to this day. With keen scholarly labor and clearly
articulated argumentation, Brown answers those claims and
effectively demonstrates that Jesus is the Messiah predicted in the
Scriptures."--Michael R. Licona, PhD, Associate Professor in
Theology, Houston Baptist University
"This is vintage Michael Brown! Using Jewish sources, the Bible,
and evidence from life, Brown shows how Chabad's teachings about
their late Rebbe, Menachem Schneerson, compare and contrast with
the gospel. While Brown focuses on the resurrection, he also brings
Jesus' life and death into the discussion to build a case for His
Messiahship. Chabad is one of the most influential Jewish movements
worldwide, even sending missionaries to some of the same places
Jewish for Jesus goes as we minister to Israeli backpackers in
India or Nepal. I can't think of a better time for a book like
this!"--David Brickner, Executive Director, Jews for Jesus
