  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  I don’t bring up my work with MJTI (mjti.com) on the blog very often. Not the least of reasons is that I sometimes get a little controversial here on Messianic Jewish Musings and I don’t hesitate to share my own opinions. I don’t want anyone to assume that my passions and positions are the official [...]

• History and the Bible Story, Pt 1

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  Speaking of what he calls the “death of Biblical history,” Keith Whitelam has said:It is now time for Palestinian history to come of age and formally reject the agenda and constraints of “biblical history.” . . . It is the historian who must set the agenda and not the theologian.–The Invention of Ancient ...

• The Center of the World

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  In Biblical theology, Jerusalem is the place where God chose for his name to dwell, forever hallowed (see Deut 12:5 for the origins of this doctrine which is fleshed out in the Psalms and prophets).In my work with MJTI (mjti.com), I have been working on a number of projects leading me to write about Jerusalem.

  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  Cindy at the Caspari Center emailed to let me know that several of the books I recommend for your library on Messianic Jewish history are available from the online store at caspari.com/store. In particular, they carry Skarsaune’s Jewish Believers in Jesus, Pritz’s Nazarene Jewish Christianity, and Kjaer-Hansen’s ...

• PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Yeshua as Messiah

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  The rationale for the Yeshua in Context podcast is getting back, in the limited ways this is possible, to viewing Yeshua’s life and message in the categories that were relevant for his own generation. So much water has gone under the bridge since then and the Jesus of Christianity has so many layers added that [...]

• A Better Copy in PDF of Haggadah for the Birth of Messiah

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  Many thanks to diggindarren whose comment yesterday clued me in about how to generate a PDF from Mellel. This copy of the Haggadah will print beautifully. Incidentally, this Haggadah and the others I have produced are works in progress. I welcome suggestions and criticisms in the comments or by email ...

• Haggadah for the Birth of Messiah

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  Calling on all Apple computer people . . . I have a little problem. I typed my Hagaddah into Mellel so I could mix Hebrew and English. Mellel does not have an option to save to PDF. Any ideas?………………………….At the bottom of this post I have a link to a Haggadah for the Birth of [...]

• How December 25 Came to be Thought of as the Date of Jesus’ Birth

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  I have pasted a link below to the most definitive article I have yet seen on the historical basis for December 25 as the day of Jesus’ birth. The answer will surprise you and you have to stick with the article though it is on the longish side. http://www.bib-arch.org/e-features/christmas.asp [...]

• Yeshua and His Hanukkah Messages

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  The theme which seems to have been in Yeshua’s mind as he spoke to his generation gathered at the Temple for Hanukkah was the effect of false shepherds on Israel’s well-being.Yeshua’s messages are summarized in John 10, the whole discourse of which is said to have been given at Hanukkah (10:22).The Hanukkah ...

• MJ History in Messiah Journal 102

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  Count me among the people who are elated at what the organization First Fruits of Zion is becoming. A lot of their former readers and supporters have abandoned them, at least temporarily. The reason, as I see it, is a sociological tragedy in certain movements loosely associated with Messianic Judaism. Non-Jews, having ...

• A Bissel of Hanukkah How-To’s and Inspiration, MJ Style

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  Hanukkah starts tonight! Time to run hot water over your menorahs to melt the colored wax from last year. Time to get ready for the smell of onions and potatoes frying in oil. Time to save up calories for jelly donuts and chocolate, oy! Time to buy a gift for a loved one and to [...]

• PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Yeshua as Prophet

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  There is a difference in the way Yeshua was viewed by his own generation and the way he has been viewed since then in church and Jewish tradition. Our image of Jesus the Christ of Christianity is different for many reasons than the image of Yeshua the Galilean to his own people in his own [...]

• The Hanukkah Story, MJ Style

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  I call this version “MJ Style” because, true to Messianic Judaism, I see the Hanukkah story in terms of Yeshua’s work as the redeemer of Israel. Most of the story is familiar to you and I am going light on details. The point is in the way I use the story to say something for [...]

• Hanukkah and the Prophet Daniel, Pt 2

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  Hanukkah is a holiday which post-dates the Hebrew Bible. So it would seem that we could say little or nothing about Hanukkah from the Hebrew Bible.Yet the sixth century B.C.E. prophet Daniel foretold events that would lead up to Hanukkah. Some say the parts of Daniel that deal with Hanukkah-era events are not ...

• Hanukkah and the Prophet Daniel, Pt 1

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  Hanukkah arrives Friday night and among other things (like reading the relevant chapters in H.H. Ben-Sasson’s A History of the Jewish People) my thoughts are turned toward the prophet Daniel.Let me say at the outset that I am not well-read in Daniel studies. What I have to offer here is as much about me learning ...

• Robert Alter on Jacob’s Wrestling Till Dawn

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  I get so much every week out of following the cycle of Torah, reading commentators old and new, and seeing connections in ideas and events to the readings. If you are in the habit of reading, you know what I mean.So many ideas and thoughts come from the readings each week, I never lack for [...]

• PODCAST: Yeshua in Context – Yeshua as Teacher

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  One of the most helpful things we can do in getting back to the context of Yeshua’s life is to try and see him in the categories of the day. Yeshua was not a rabbi in the modern sense, someone who went to seminary and who led a synagogue and met with the board and [...]

• The ZIBBC, Ezekiel 8, and Tammuz

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  I am bringing together several topics of interest in this post. First, I recently reviewed the ZIBBC (Zondervan Illustrated Bible Encyclopedia) here and recommended it as a resource to everyone who loves study. The set on the Hebrew Bible is $157.47 on amazon (five volumes, full-color, beautifully bound).Second, ...

• More About Christmas and the Haggadah

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  I wrote yesterday explaining what I see as some of the issues involved for intermarried families and the question of whether or not to celebrate Christmas. I think it is a tough issue and a tough decision for intermarried families. I see positives and negatives, though in my mind the negatives are weightier. ...

• Should Intermarried Families Celebrate Christmas?

  
  Messianic Jewish Musings — Authority: 124
  Messianic Judaism brings together many intermarried families with many different backgrounds and stories. In December, there is an issue which touches the core of what it means to struggle with two heritages, two cultures, under one roof.Yesterday, in a comment on my post about going off to Chicago-land, in which I ...
