Welcome to Litsy!

This books brings a concept that challenges how we believe and interpret the Bible. Western Christianity forgets the Jewish context, Hebraic style of thinking, and the "Jewishness" of the Messiah. It suffers for it. We miss connections and even deeper meanings by neglecting these things. The ideas presented within the pages challenge us to break free of Western thought and understand Scripture in the style and context it was written.

My next "Shabbat book". Great insight on page 25: "The Scriptures are meant for us to read but they were not written to our modern world." Looking forward to absorbing this book bit by bit.

Who doesn't love #bookmail? Now, where on the TBR does it go? I tend to put new books on top. Seems I shelve books and look at them 2,3, or 6 months later thinking, "Oh, why haven't I read that yet?" Then it hits me: I like the shiny new object.????

I have read this book slowly, leaning into the insights, as most clash brilliantly with many things I've learned over the years about the Bible and its translation. ✝️

this book continues to help me understand Scripture and makes me eagerly anticipate reading a familiar verse that will seem completely new to me in the future

reading and swimming ~ what a combo

This isn't just reading; it is work. This is a workbook for me to improve my understanding as I read the Bible. #readingthebiblewithrabbijesus

I'm taking the book slow, savoring each section yet anticipating the discovery of Truth.
