What is the Messianic Jewish View of Jesus? A Life of Jesus

A wonderful new publication gives a very detailed view of the life of Jesus, as portrayed in the New Testament.  Of course, everybody knows where to obtain a New Testament, but, what may be somewhat less obvious is how to understand the Jewish context in which it was written.
Ariel Ministries has just released a new book that is highly helpful in this regard.  There are longer versions with manifold references, but this is an abridged version for persons who merely wish to know the core message.   Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, learned scholar in these matters, is the author. "Life of Messiah" is the title, and, while it may take a bit out of the budget, it will remain a reference work long after it is read.  As a reference book, it is by no means expensive!

Here is a quote from the Ariel site with regard to this book:

ISRAEL'S MESSIANIC KING
During His ministry to the Jewish people, Yeshua (Jesus) journeyed throughout the land promised to the Jewish patriarchs, presenting Himself to the Jews as their Messiah. He was a Jew living in a Jewish land among the Jewish people. Yet, much of the knowledge of this Jewish society, its culture and traditions has grown dim with the passage of time. In this work, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum shines a bright light on the life of Yeshua and the land of Israel during the Second Temple period, interpreting the Gospels from a Messianic Jewish perspective. To achieve this, Dr. Fruchtenbaum had done original research in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek source texts, and has also drawn on the works of other scholars and the writings of ancient rabbis.

The book can be purchased from Ariel Ministries at Ariel Ministries New Items. I think it is well worth the while to investigate this volume.
