Product Description

What kind of answers hold fast in Jewish Christian apologetics? Answers that are fair. Answers that are detailed. And above all, answers that respond to actual objections. In the first of three volumes of Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Michael Brown provides defensible answers. He addresses the same arguments that arise in his dialogue and debate with friends, rabbis, and anti-missionaries. Some objections include: * "I was born a Jew and I will die a Jew." * "I won't betray my ancestors." * "If Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, why isn't there peace on earth?" * "Christians have always hated and persecuted the Jewish people!" Brown knows all about such objections. At age sixteen, he discovered Jesus was the Jewish Messiah, and it changed his life. Called to defend his new faith, Brown went on to master Hebrew, earning his Ph.D. in Semitic languages. In the past decades he has established himself as a leading Jewish Christian apologist. Brown brings together his learning and his love for his people to answer thirty-five commonly heard objections. He provides believers and seekers alike with honest, spiritually focused answers, thoroughly documented with notes.

Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus
This is a fantastic set of books. I have got volumes 1 to 4 and am eagerly waiting for volume 5 to be published. Dr. Michael Brown is a very knowledgeable and very intelligent Messianic Jew who is active in Jewish evangelism. He debates Orthodox rabbis on radio, TV, and college campuses across the world. He is a published Old Testament and Semitic scholar, holding a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Literatures from New York University. These books certainly do answer the objections that Orthodox Jews have regarding Jesus as the promised Messiah and I highly recommend them. Dr. Michael Brown also has a DVD series of these books which I also recommend.

Apologetics
This series of books (Vols. 1,2&3) are primarily aimed at Jewish readers and written by a Messianic Jew. However, the scope is much wider. It is a "must" for any serious student of the Bible as it intricately links both the Tanakh (Old Testament) to the B'rit Hadashah (New Testament). The books provide a clear Christain apologetic and is well written. Each section starts with an objection/question and is followed by a brief rebuttal then an in-depth study of the topic. Unlike most apologetic books, these are actually easier to read and great benefit can be had by both the casual student or serious scholar.
Well worth adding to the shopping basket.
