Introduction to Messianic Judaism,
By Scott Wheeler (Libby, MT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jewish New Testament Commentary: A Companion Volume to the Jewish New Testament (Paperback)
When David Stern first announced he was coming out with a commentary to complement his translation of the New Testament (Jewish New Testament) I was rather excited. No Messianic Jewish author had ever done a project of this sort and there was great potential for good discussion and interaction between contrasting views of scripture. The dissappointment came the first time I ever tried to use it as a reference. Dr. Stern simply doesn't comment on many a problem text for the Messianic view of scripture. The ones that he does comment on he very rarely interacts with other scholars with contrasting views, thus taking some credibility away from his work. Dr. Stern also doesn't defend his rendering of some texts the way he does when translating a verse in a controversial way. Some verses he does defend his rendering, but still doesn't interact with scholars who interpret in other ways. From what I understood, his purpose was to make a commentary that is a recource for Messianics and non-Messianics to look to to see a representation of a Jewish interpretation of scripture. In this respect he succeeded, it is basically an introduction to Messianic Judaism, but is by no means in depth. This book really only earned its third star because it was the first attempt of its kind, otherwise it's only a two star. It's a shame to compare this to other sets of wonderful, scholarly commentaries such as the NICNT or Word or others of the like. Nowhere near as indepth (it's one volume) or as diverse (by one man) or as authoritative (his Ph.D. is a business degree). All in all, this is probably a good source for the Messianic to have in his library, but nowhere near as valuable as other full length commentaries.

More Christian Deception...,

This review is from: Jewish New Testament Commentary: A Companion Volume to the Jewish New Testament (Paperback)
To all ... who are Jewish, or interested in Judaism. This book of commentary is not a Jewish commentary, in fact it is just a thinly veiled attempt to bring unaffiliated/uneducated Jewish people into the folds of Christianity. For those looking for books on Jewish responses to Christianity, you will do yourself no justice in purchasing this book.
