Description

Explore the wisdom and traditions of the Jewish faith and examine what they mean for Christians.

“In this extraordinary book, Rabbi Evan Moffic takes Christians on a journey through the roots of our faith, by giving insight into the history and tradition that Jesus would have observed. In this way, Rabbi Moffic provides the backstory to the main story. If you want to get more from your faith, this book is a must-read!” —Dave Adamson, Pastor, North Pointe Church

“Rabbi Moffic is an engaging teacher who excels at communicating ancient truths for modern audiences. His insights into Hebrew scriptures and the Jewish heritage of the Christian faith will be a blessing to all who want to learn.”  —Steve Gillen, Pastor, Willow Creek Community Church

When Christians learn about Jewish tradition and history, they see the Bible and the life of Jesus with a new and enriched perspective. Knowing more about Judaism brings them closer to Jesus because Jesus lived and died as a Jew and consistently quoted the Jewish scripture and stories.

In this book Evan Moffic, popular rabbi, author, and guide to Jewish wisdom for people of all faiths, continues the What Every Christian Needs to Know About series with an exploration of the wisdom and traditions of Judaism. Rabbi Moffic provides answers to hundreds of questions he receives about Judaism to provide a deeper understanding of the roots shared by Christians and Jews.

Through this book’s explorations, readers will learn insights of the great Jewish sages to live a richer and more meaningful life, soak up the wisdom and traditions of Judaism,  and a develop closer relationship with God.

“My hope is that these teachings can serve as a way of fostering bonds focused not on the past and the troubled history between Jews and Christians, but rather one looking forward to a future in which we share wisdom with one another.”

 – Rabbi Evan Moffic

I absolutely loved this book! I've frequently wondered how I managed to grow up in New York, where many of my classmates, neighbours, and co-workers were Jewish, without knowing much about the religion. I decided a long time ago that learning about Judaism was difficult because, unlike Christians and Muslims, Jews tend to keep to themselves and not seek out conversions. So, as the Jewish people aren't likely to start knocking at my door or preaching on a street corner any time soon, I decided I should make some effort and read a book. I'm so glad I did.

This book is not just for Christians. It's for anyone that is a little unsure about what Jews believe, their history, and how they worship and live. It puts the holidays and rules we've all heard about in context and explains where each comes from and why some denominations do things differently than others. While some knowledge of the Bible would be helpful, I think you can go into this book with no background in scripture.

I'm very excited and inspired to learn more about Judaism and thank the author of this book for providing a fantastic introduction.

This is a great resource for Christians wanting to learn more about Judaism. It covers many areas and shows how the two religions are different and how they are the same. This would be a great read for someone with Jewish friends who is trying to learn more about the customs and traditions of Judaism. A great add to a home library. I plan to recommend and purchase.

Rabbi Evan Moffic does an excellent job explaining the basic tenets of Judaism to those (not just Christians) who may be unfamiliar with them. Topics he covers include holidays, prayers, weddings, and funerals. His writing style is friendly, engaging, and easy to understand; it's evident that he is accustomed to speaking with people from different religious backgrounds. Recommended for all public libraries. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

What Every Christian Needs To Know About Judaism by Rabbi Evan Moffic is an amazing read that has taught me so much! I grew up in a Christian home yet was never taught all these important parts of Gods Word. In this book he teaches about holidays, prayers, weddings, and funerals. This book was easy to read and understand. It has helped me to see the Bible with new eyes! I believe anyone would benefit from reading this and learning more about the traditions of the Jewish faith! I know I did!
