Think Jewish To Understand The Bible

by Pearl Evans

Think Jewish To Understand The Bible Why Evangelicals love Israel and the Jewish peopleIn this book, the author presents what she calls "theology from my heart to your heart." Her objective is to show that Israel and the Jews are central in understanding scripture. She does not present radical new views; she simply explains some of the "whys and wherefores" of the premillennial and pretribulation viewpoint of scholars.She writes, "In Israel's story, the present church age is important as a link between Israel's past and present. Yet, immersed as we are in the present church age, we fail to see that this age is only part of God's story, which in its entirety centers on Israel and the Jewish people. A statement by Fuller theologian William Sanford LaSor affirms the major premise of this book-that the story of Israel is the story line of God's plan. LaSor writes, "It is through Israel-and, I believe, only through Israel- that God make know what he has been doing and what he plans to do with this world."As an English major in college and as a former teacher of Bible Literature in public adult education, the author approaches Bible study on an academic level but with a personal touch that springs form her personal experiences and observations. Her bottom line conviction is that Jesus is who he says he is, God in the flesh-the second person of the triune godhead.
