Answering Judaism's Rejection of Jesus
Demonstrating that Jesus is the Messiah and Responding to Orthodox Judaism's Apologists
"You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God."
Is Jesus the Messiah? Today, Orthodox Jews have developed an extensive literature and apologetic community dedicated to "counter-missionary" work, seeking to respond to the historical Christian affirmation of Jesus as the messianic king anticipated throughout the Scriptures of Israel. Over the course of over fifteen hours, these challenges will be addressed directly as we build a constructive, systematic case from the whole Tanakh for Jesus the Nazarene as the unifying principle of the Hebrew Bible: the Son of David and Lord of the World. Lectures are currently being uploaded semi-regularly, with over fifteen hours of content presently available. Content will continue to be produced until each of the twelve topics are complete.
