How can we get the best work of the best messianic theologian into words that people in the pews can understand easily? Besorah is the answer. This is the book for every Yeshua-believer who wants the big picture of Jesus and Israel, past and future. Every believer needs to read this and get a copy for friends. --Gerald McDermott, Beeson Divinity School, author of Israel Matters NT scholars today increasingly recognize the connection between the good news about Jesus and Isaianic promises of the restoration of God's people who will return to Zion. Paradoxically, however, they often treat this restoration as virtually completed in the church, supplanting the Jewish people. Recognizing the problems with replacement theology, Kinzer and Resnik offer an alternative approach that respects the Torah--and the Messianic Jewish-friendly tenor of Luke-Acts and biblical promises of the coming restoration of the Jewish people. --Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary, author of Acts: An Exegetical Commentary In Besorah, two of Messianic Judaism's most distinctive thinkers work together to share an understanding of the gospel that is committed to the Torah and the Jewish people. The complexities of Mark Kinzer's original theological reasoning are effectively elucidated and personalized for a wider audience thanks to the redactional skills of Russ Resnik. As a New Testament scholar, it is especially remarkable to see this Messianic Jewish vision of the gospel exegetically built upon the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. If Luke wrote primarily to a gentile Christian audience, how surprised he would be to find out that his writings have become bestsellers among Messianic Jews! All those interested in learning about a 'Jewish Christian' perspective on the gospel will want to read this book. --Isaac W. Oliver, Bradley University, author of Luke's Jewish Eschatology
