The Lord's Prayer (2): “Our Father Who Art in Heaven”
by Brad Young 

It is difficult to grasp the full impact of the Lord’s Prayer without an appreciation of its Jewish background. Today’s Christians have quite a different understanding of prayer, Scripture and faith than a Jewish teacher like Jesus. One easily can miss the great depth of Jesus' message, even while believing in him.[more]

  Synoptic Question #5: What are the names of Jesus' twelve disciples?
Author: njohnsen
Topic Replies: 11

I don't have anything to add except to ask how in the world "Thaddeus" got in there? What codex or papyrus was he in to be included in Matthew and Mark and left out of Luke? I really get confused by trying to understand the sources of the gospels.

  Matthew 28:19 and references by Eusebius and others to singular name

Does anyone have good analyses and references on Matthew 28:19 and how Eusebius referred to a singular name ("My name") with which people were to be baptized?

  What did Jesus mean by "born of water"?
Author: RJ Dawson

Thanks for the discussion, Bryan and Iver. This has always been an interesting subject. A few decades back, I was initially taught that it referred to water baptism, though the conclusion drawn by Iver was also introduced as a lesser alternative. [more]

Parables of the Sages by Notley & Safrai

No longer do we have to read ABOUT the parables of Israel's sages. Now, we can read the parables themselves via Steven Notley’s superb English version!

Look inside the book:
View the book’s cover; Look at the Table of Contents; Read the Preface; Read pages from the book’s Introduction; Then, settle back and enjoy a sampling of the early rabbinic parables collected by Notley and Safrai, so similar to the parables of Jesus. Read the authors’ comments and explanations, which help to elucidate the parables.

For a limited time at only $78.99!

David Bivin highly recommends:

This is a book that will change your life, a book you won’t want to be without. Gain a better understanding of the parables of Jesus! Step back into Jesus’ culture and context.

Not only is Parables of the Sages a must-read for every Christian, it is a reference work needed in every Christian’s personal library. You now will refer to Parables of the Sages each time you read a parable of Jesus!

The new book presents all 456 early rabbinic parables. The parables of Israel’s sages are fascinating in themselves, but they also provide the background that enables Christians to fully appreciate Jesus’ parables.
