Unlocking Jesus: Rediscovering the Original Meaning of His Teachings

By Joe Amaral

Book Overview

What if the teachings of Jesus could be heard the way His original audience heard them? What if His words weren't just spiritual-but cultural, historical, and deeply Jewish?

In Unlocking Jesus, bestselling author and Bible teacher Joe Amaral invites readers on a journey back in time to rediscover the Jewish roots of Christianity and experience Jesus through the lens of the people, places, and traditions of the first century.

Drawing from over 20 years of study in Hebrew culture and the Bible, Amaral explores key moments in Jesus' life-His miracles, His parables, His use of idioms, and His fulfillment of messianic prophecies-all grounded in Scripture and Jewish history. From the synagogue in Nazareth to the feasts of the Lord in Leviticus 23, every chapter peels back the layers of time to reveal a powerful, prophetic picture of the Historical Jesus.

You'll learn:

Why Jesus waited until age 30 to begin His ministryThe hidden meaning behind "healing in His wings"How Jewish traditions like the Feast of Tabernacles and Day of Atonement reveal God's plan of redemptionThe theological significance of Jesus' Fourth-Day ResurrectionWhat it means to live out your faith with both Christian theology and Jewish context

Whether you're a seasoned Bible student or new to the faith, Unlocking Jesus will open your eyes to the richness of Jesus' world and deepen your relationship with the One who came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.

Rediscover Jesus. Rediscover your faith.
Discover the Bible as His first followers knew it.
