“The Jewish Apostle Paul” sheds significant new light on the life and teaching of one of the greatest and most misunderstood Jews that ever lived – the Apostle Paul. This book courageously, yet responsibly, deals with one important matter that has not been settled: What is the relationship of Christ-followers among the nations to the Torah of Israel? In order to provide solid answers to this question, we must first deal with other basic questions.For example, how can we explain a thoroughly pro-Jewish Paul as he appears in his letter to the Romans and in the book of Acts; while he seemingly displays anti-Jewish or anti-Torah attitudes in his letters to non-Jewish Christ-followers in the Roman provinces of Galatia and the city of Philippi. The standard questions that are being asked today, although frightening to many, are indeed relevant and demand responsible, theologically balanced and historically accurate treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very enlightening book.
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2022

I am reading this book for the second time . I must say that is not an " easy read" , but well worth the effort . I am beginning to see Paul in a new light . Sadly many Christians never read the Bible or they read it through just once and make decisions without fully understanding it or they let their Church tell them what to believe . I can say this because I was one of those people . I now read 3 chapters of the bible daily and compare them to 6 different Bibles . Even if I read the Bible for the next 100 years I still wouldn't know all the amazing things the Bible contains . I recommend that Christians read this book . I also recommend that Christians get to know Jewish people in order to help them have a better understanding because remember that Jesus lived His life on earth as a Jewish Person .

5.0 out of 5 stars A Jewish Perspective on Paul
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2023
Verified Purchase
This outstanding book gives us a Jewish perspective on Paul which is completely ignored by Paul's detractors. The author clearly demonstrates that Paul never forsook his identity as a Jew and had no intention of creating a religion that was separate from Judaism.

Paul was motivated by his conviction that the resurrection of Jesus signaled the beginning of the end-times. In this, he was no different than the other Jewish apostles. The prophetic promise of the ingathering of nations was the result of this. Paul saw the gentile believers as representative of the nations who would be gathered into God's Kingdom who would recognize the God of Israel as their God and the God of the entire universe. The Shema would become a reality whereby God would be the god of the nations as well. Paul insisted that Gentile believers completely abandon idolatry and worship the God of Israel. He also insisted that they not fully convert to Judaism by becoming circumcised but adhere to the laws of the Torah which only applied to Gentiles. If Gentile believers converted to Judaism the Shema would become null and void.

The author makes it clear that the "Judaizers" who tried to undermine Paul's missionary work were not representative of the leaders of the Jerusalem community who approved of Paul's ministry and came to an agreement that Gentiles should not be compelled to be fully converted to Judaism.

This easy to read and concise book clears up so many misconceptions of Paul which have been foisted upon us by lesser scholars.

This is an interesting read and I would recommend this to everyone. It is our duty to remember that the early followers of Jesus were Jewish. Dr. Eli does a good job of explaining the Jewish Paul for the reader.

This easy to read little book provides an excellent background to, not only the “Jewishness” of Paul, but the cultural background for his way of thinking and hence the backdrop to his epistles. I highly recommend this book for Christians and Jews alike. We desperately need a rapprochement.

5.0 out of 5 stars it challenges the traditional thinking
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024
Verified Purchase
Though there are some things I have to admit I don’t agree with, especially with some statements about the traditional evangelical thinking, I.e., not all evangelicals think alike in all aspects just as there is not a single Jewish thinking, I reckon if someone is a God fearing believer, then is difficult to challenge a lot of the Bible references and conclusions exposed by the author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok but, reader research grafting of fruit trees 1st
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021
Verified Purchase
I agree that indeed Shaul was indeed always a Jew and a pharisee and did not convert to "christianity" and while clearly the "gentiles" have not replaced Israel they are now partakers with them. I was a bit surprised by the attempt to make grafting something it is not, and by trying to change the verses to partially broken? Page 80) That is not how grafting works for one, and two the thought does not at all remove Israel like he implies, read on through verses 25 at least and you will see how the partial break dont fit the context. Oh and readers please research grafting of fruit trees, specifically olive trees, Sha'ul knew what he was talking about and we need to as well to understand the concept of spiritual circumcism and how we now share in the promises, being grafted/ adopted into the family why would a Father treat the adopted children differently than his real blood children, unless he is impartial he would treat them with the same rules of the house yes? Anyways, a good read none the less. The Samaritan woman was way better, I recommend it more so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paul was true to his Jewish/Hebrew calling and placing
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022
Verified Purchase
For many years I have been rethinking and exploring the Jewish foundations of 'Christianity' including the Apostle Paul. This book helped put into words, much better than I could, my growing convictions. I found myself saying Amen, Amen, Amen! It is a short book but the points are pithy and vitally important.
Some of the later chapters referring to Paul's writings to the Romans and Galatians are not wholly convincing but they are a major step in the right direction. Anyone who is exploring the principles and practicalities of drawing Messianic Jews and Messianic Gentiles together to serve in the Kingdom of God will welcome this book. There is a lot more to be said and done but laying the principles first is vitally important. And this book makes a good start.

Dr Eli’s book on Paul gives a valuable perspective on the Apostle Paul. Dr Eli doesn’t cover everything, but his insights give greater appreciation of Paul, his thinking and his writing. It’s a good read. Worthwhile.

The book has some interesting thoughts but there was not any essential news. If you're a new reader on Paul it's good but if you you are an experienced reader on Paul it's nothing new.

having read the Jewish Gospel of John & the Samaritan Woman, I was excited to get this book, but what a disappointment. The writing style is different and if I can say a bit sloppy, but it's the contents that really that I didn't like, the author appears to be trying to turn all Christians into Proselyte Jews. This book has neither added to my knowledge nor has it encouraged me in any way. Sorry but would not recommend this to anyone, in spite of the fact I have often recommended the other two to many people.

dubious Hebrew hermeneutics on the Nee Testament is at best unusual and at worst travesty . It is too similar to Pharasaic reading of Torah. Convert something you don't like to something you can live with.
Rhe approach denies the inspired nature of scripture.
The writer is more concerned with volume of books than high quality output.
Avoid .
