I was more than impressed with this new book by D. Thomas Lancaster. I recomend it to all interested in Hebrew roots, beginers and advanced students. Lancaster's easy-to-understand style makes it easy for anyone.
While awaiting trial before the wicked Emperor Nero, Paul wrote the Epistle to the Ephesians. In that letter, he unburdened his heart, sharing with the Ephesians what he understood to be the deepest mystery of the Messiah and the eternal purpose of God on earth. According to Paul, the mystery of the Gospel is that Gentiles are joint heirs with Israel through faith in Messiah.
Following in the tradition of Torah Rediscovered and Take Hold, First Fruits of Zion’s latest book, The Mystery of the Gospel, addresses the question of Jewish/Gentile relationships within the body of Messiah. In a friendly, easy to read, narrative style, D. Thomas Lancaster works through the Apostle Paul’s rabbinic scholarship to piece together the deep mystery of the Messiah. Ultimately, that mystery is about the identity of Gentile believers and their relationship to Israel through the Messiah. The Mystery of the Gospel provides long-sought answers for everyone who is confused about where they fit in the House of Israel and the Torah of God.
There are not many books on the market which can purport to convey the “eternal purpose of God.” This one does! Like a collection of midrash for believers, Mystery of the Gospel is simultaneously a great introduction to the Hebrew Roots of Christianity and a wealth of new material for those already well on their way in that movement. Don't miss this book!
