Top Highlights

“Paul, raised as a Pharisee in Jerusalem, knew the priestly doctrine of his days. He knew that Jesus hung accursed on the cross. But the rabbi from Tarsus provides a new interpretation. He knows that God has raised the accursed from the dead and thereby demonstrated that he is the Messiah. This fact means that the curse Jesus carried on the cross was not his own; it was ours. And by willingly taking the curse of the Torah on our behalf, he redeems both Israelites and gentiles from the curse which befell us all because we did not manage to obey the Torah. Redemption is at hand!” (Page 37)

“The Messianic hope is rooted in the corruption of mankind and all creation following the rebellion in Eden.” (Page 20)

“A Jew may not like this, nor for that matter a nominal Christian—but it is a fact that the greater part of the world’s population relates their lives to Jesus of Nazareth. This is also the case when it is disguised behind a bce (Before Common Era) instead of bc (Before Christ [Messiah]) or ce (Common Era) instead of ad (Anno Domini = year of the Lord).” (Pages 7–8)

“Most Jewish people still do not consider the Scriptures as authoritative, much less the traditions, and as a result do not believe in a Messiah who is personal. But there appears to be a growing interest among many Jewish people in the sources of our heritage, and that means an increasing interest in the Messiah and his coming.” (Page 66)

“Targumic paraphrase on Isaiah 53 which possibly already existed orally by the end of the Second Temple Period. In it, all passages which spoke of suffering were relegated to Israel as the suffering servant, while the verses which spoke of exaltation were applied to the Messiah, son of David.” (Page 62)
