Summary

A rare chance to know Jesus as his first disciples knew him.

What would it be like to journey back to the first century and sit at the feet of Rabbi Jesus as one of his Jewish disciples? How would your understanding of the gospel have been shaped by the customs, beliefs, and traditions of the Jewish culture in which you lived?

Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus will change the way you read Scripture and deepen your understanding of the life of Jesus. It will also help you to adapt the rich prayers and customs you learn about to your own life, in ways that both respect and enrich your Christian faith.

Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus takes you on a fascinating tour of the Jewish world of Jesus, offering inspirational insights that can transform your faith. Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg paint powerful scenes from Jesus' ministry, immersing you in the prayers, feasts, history, culture, and customs that shaped Jesus and those who followed him.

In this audiobook, you will:

  • Hear the parables as they must have sounded to first-century Jews, powerful and surprising.
  • Join conversations among the rabbis of Jesus' day.
  • Watch with new understanding as the events of Jesus' life unfold.
  • Experience new excitement about the roots of your Christian faith.

This expanded edition includes a discussion guide for both individuals and groups and instructions for a simple home Passover Seder celebration.

Wonderful

This book is informative and well worth having. The narrator is easy to listen to. And the book itself is brimming with fresh insight on the Jewish context of the scriptures.

Engaging and helpful

Recommended for anyone! I was surprised how many very familiar passages of the bible have different meanings to the original hearers.

boring

I tried twice to read this book, second time, I downloaded it on audio and with headphones and book in hand, I hoped that I would manage to concentrate and get further, by listening and reading! What a waste of my money. I gave up at chapter 5. I looked at all the reviews and seems I'm the only one who can't get into it. Due to that I keep thinking , what am I missing?!!

a beautiful read

This is one book that you don't forget in a hurry its one of my favorites following this I purchased two more books by Ann Spangler. She explains much of the culture at the time of Jesus and explains scriptures in the light of the Messiah being Jewish.
