This third installment of Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus looks specifically at questions raised about messianic prophecies in Isaiah, Daniel, Psalms, Haggai, and Zechariah. It's an invaluable resource for seekers and for anyone wanting to point students of the Torah to Jesus. "Michael Brown has established himself as the foremost messianic apologist in the world. This volume deals with that most vital and controversial area of messianic prophecy objections: Is Jesus really the promised Messiah? All three volumes exhibit Dr. Brown's unique contributions to Jewish missions: biblical accuracy, Jewish sensitivity, and personal compassion." Dr. Barry R. Leventhal, academic dean and professor, Southern Evangelical Seminary "Brown's answers to objections are carefully thought out, honest, and well researched. His work provides a useful model on how to do apologetics for all who are interested in articulating and defending the Christian faith." Craig Keener, professor of New Testament, Eastern Seminary "Michael Brown's thinking is incisive and to the point. His ability to explain so that anyone can understand is amazing." Moishe Rosen, founder, Jews for Jesus

Customer Reviews

Wonderful!
The author is both a Jew and a Christian, a Messianic Jew, he himself states so in the book...the book is excellent!

Excellent book, although I actually read it....
Anyone who actually reads the book (and even checks the references) will both love and highly approve it! Likewise anyone who reads the book will be faced with the only clear conclusion, that indeed Y'shua /Jesus is the Messiah... Although there is another option. That being to not even read the book at all and yet write an angry and trite little negative review, as we see a few examples of here. Interestingly enough, there is a well-visited web-site out there: http://foundationstone.com.au/ which while doing the good work of teaching Hebrew for free is also recommending that Jews come here to Amazon, specifically not to buy, but merely write "quality", yet negative reviews of any Jewish/Messianic books.... How sad... I mean really, think about it. In any case, I think in a couple of these reviews, we see the negative, but not necessarily the "quality" that the aforementioned provocature was looking for... at least not the type that comes from actually reading the book first... Highly recommended!!!

Great book
Brown does a great job addressing logic and philosophical ridden objections which make up the bulwark of Judaic apologetics. NT writers' OT interpretation is very similar to the allegorical reasoning the sages used in the Talmud. Objecting to the NT accordingly is nothing short of hypocracy.

For sake of sheer irony, some anti-missionary websites(http://foundationstone.com.au/) tells faithful Jews to go to amazon and provide "quality negative reviews" to Messianic books without actually buying them. Hence, lying. This would be a good example of straining on a gnat and swallowing a camel. Some Jews don't have the slightest care in the world for moral commands of the torah.
