The Hebrew Yeshua vs the Greek Jesus, by Nehemia
Gordon.
I must have book for every scholar of Scripture.
Former Pharisee, Nehemia Gordon, a Dead Sea Scrolls scholar and
Semitic language expert, explores the ancient Hebrew text of the
Gospel of Matthew from manuscripts long hidden away in the archives
of Jewish scribes.
Gordon's research reveals that the more "modern"
Greek text of Matthew, from which the Western world's versions were
translated, depicts "another Jesus" from the Yeshua portrayed in the
ancient Hebrew version of Matthew. Gordon explains the
life-and-death conflict Yeshua had with the Pharisees as they
schemed to grab the reins of Judaism in the first century, and
brings that conflict into perspective for both Jew and Christian
alike.
