The Lion of Judah: How Jesus Completed Biblical Judaism and Why Judaism and Christianity Separated
Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider, Charisma House – 2018
The split between Jews and Christians goes beyond who they say Jesus is or isn’t. After all, Jesus was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, died as a Jew, and was originally followed by Jews. Yet somehow a new religion was born, and the division has lasted nearly two thousand years. Why?
Messianic Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider unearths the story behind this separation. He points to the theological crises the religious leaders at the time faced, the jealousies they harbored, and the problems that the inclusion of Gentiles into the faith created. Schneider shows how Jesus fulfills everything in the Law and the Prophets and, in doing so, is the completion of Judaism itself.
