About the Book
The author in this book has issued a challenge to the church to look again through Jewish eyes at some of the things you thought you knew about scripture, as he goes through some of the issues he has found during his thirty year ministry within churches. That the New Testament is a Jewish Covenant according to Jeremiah 31:31, written by Jews, about a Jewish Messiah, that came to die for all mankind. He goes on to clarify this point by showing the heritage handed down by the Holy Apostles to the church..
He deals with many of the issues that have caused a lack of understanding of the scriptures, through reading from a Greco Roman mindset, which he believes has since caused the separation of the branches from their Jewish roots. He first discusses the paradigms of Jewish worship tradition from the Early Church, and then with this knowledge revisits the New Testament from a Jewish perspective
