With his fresh perspective on the Jewish heritage of Jesus, author Joe Amaral shows what being a disciple meant in the first century, and what it means for Christians living in the 21st
Jo Amaral grew up a bit of a rebel but credits a youth pastor as a major factor in his conversion and decision to enter the ministry. In 2002 he first visited Israel and learned about the culture from his tour guide, a Messianic Jew. He now operates a ministry conducting tours of the Holy Land several times a year and teaching on the Jewish roots of Christianity.
"Joe Amaral's insights into first century Jewish culture will be of
great benefit for anyone who is looking to discover and understand
the original meaning of Jesus' teachings. I recommend heartily this
reader-friendly book."--Craig A. Evans, Payzant Distinguished
Professor of New Testament, Acadia Divinity College
"The fact that Jesus took on Jewish flesh means that we can't fully
appreciate what He said and did unless we know the Jewish culture
of His day. Joe Amaral sheds significant new light on the person
and work of the Messiah and by digging deeper into the Hebraic
roots of the New Testament text."--Wayne Hilsden, Senior Pastor,
King of Kings Community, Jerusalem
Joe Amaral's UNDERSTANDING JESUS is a must read for anyone who is
serious about determining the true meaning of Jesus' teachings.
Amaral's knowledge of First Century Jewish life presents Jesus in
His original cultural context. In doing so, many misunderstood or
difficult passages are brought to life."--Dr. Dan Bahat, former
District Archaeologist of Jerusalem
