Finding Messiah - A Journey into...

Jennifer M. Rosner

Jesus was Jewish, and his Jewish identity informed every aspect of his work, words, and witness. He came as the Messiah of Israel, God's covenant people, and he spoke the language of God's faithfulness to this people. So why does it seem that Judaism has little to do with our Christian discipleship today?
Jennifer Rosner, a scholar of Jewish-Christian relations, takes us on a personal and corporate journey into the Jewish roots of Christian faith and practice. Understanding Judaism—and the way in which Judaism and Christianity became separate religions—is essential for a rich and holistic Christian identity. As a follower of Jesus who was raised in a Jewish home and who continues to live a Jewish life, Rosner has seen firsthand how a Christian faith can become impoverished when divorced from its Jewish roots. Finding Messiah follows Rosner's own journey in rediscovering the role of Judaism and God's covenant with Israel in Christian life and practice. When we begin to understand Christianity's indelible relationship to Judaism, key aspects of the Christian faith come alive and the wonder of the gospel becomes clear in new and powerful ways.
Jesus' Judaism provides the foundation for the church that is built upon his name. Rediscover the Jewish Jesus, and in so doing, experience a deeper and richer faith than ever before.

Jesus in Islam

Yousef Naser

"Jesus in Islam" is an intriguing journey into the portrayal and understanding of Jesus Christ from an Islamic perspective. This book is not simply a theological exploration, but a catalyst for interfaith dialogue and comprehension. It aims to foster a holistic understanding of the shared histories and symbiotic narratives of these two Abrahamic religions.
Delving deep into the heart of Islamic theology and Qur'anic exegesis, this manuscript takes a detailed look at the life and miracles of Jesus, his mother Maryam's virtuous character and revered status in Islam, and the Islamic understanding of Jesus’s miraculous birth. The book uncovers the stark contrasts and compelling similarities between the Islamic and Christian perspectives, offering readers a fresh viewpoint and deeper understanding.
Taking the discourse further, the book thoroughly examines contentious theological issues, such as the concept of the Trinity, Divine Sonship, and the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah. These doctrines are meticulously scrutinized, providing a wealth of historical and scriptural context that illuminates the rich tapestry of Islamic and Christian thought.
A particularly notable feature of this book is its bold exploration of Jesus's crucifixion, presenting an alternative Islamic narrative. This controversial stance challenges widely held beliefs, encouraging readers to reflect on their understandings of the event.
The term "Son of God," often misunderstood and misinterpreted, is given substantial attention in this comprehensive study. This exploration delves into the rich history and diverse interpretations of this term, providing a unique Islamic perspective that invites thoughtful consideration.
"Jesus in Islam" aims not only to facilitate understanding of religious beliefs and traditions but to stimulate dialogue and mutual respect among followers of different faiths.
