FellowHeirs
Jews & Gentiles Together in the Family of God
By Tim Hegg
“In a triumph of careful scholarship and progressive thought, Tim takes the reader through the relevant texts of Scripture, exploring the role and responsibility of non-Jews within God’s covenant community.”—D. Thomas Lancaster, Author: Mystery of the Gospel
“Jews should do Jewish things and Christians should do Christian things.” So says conventional, ecumenical wisdom. But as Jews have begun to discover the Messiah, and non-Jewish believers have begun to discover the Torah, that divisive idea is being challenged. Now, Tim Hegg’s FellowHeirs takes on the difficult question of the Gentile believer’s relationship to the Torah and to the people of God. A masterful piece of scholarship, Tim Hegg’s latest work seeks the biblical perspective on identity within the family of God.
- Is the Torah for all of God’s children, or is it only for Jews?
- Who are the people the Torah refers to as “strangers”?
- Do Gentile believers have a legitimate place in Messianic Communities?
FellowHeirs answers these questions and more. The powerful results of Tim’s research demonstrate from the biblical text that Jews and Gentiles are both beholden to the same covenant norms and responsibilities. There is only one set of teachings for all of God’s people. FellowHeirs is a must-read for every serious student of the Bible.
