I believe we do still have a lot to learn about the culture Jesus lived in. I think the more we learn, the better we understand His teachings and what His audience would have heard Him say. Whenever I read the Bible and hear Jesus teaching, I am just blown away. It is outstanding, even to my western mind! I like to learn about the way the eastern culture thinks too. I think it is very valuable, and a key to understanding Jesus’ teaching. I want to keep growing in Christ everyday!

I found your point about maybe it is actually the Western culture that has so much to learn very interesting. I do think that we have strayed very far away from where others are. We have become very materialistic and a secular culture. Thank you for this blog post! Very thought provoking.

Dear Lois

Thank you so much for the articles which has been a great help for me in my teaching ministry. The depth and the background of the teaching of Jesus has helped me to see the gospels afresh and made me to enjoy studying the gospels much more.

May God help you to further your research and discoveries for the extension of His Kingdom and His glory.

Blessings

I am a pastor who has been and still is fascinated by the cultural background of First Century Israel. My preaching and teaching have been highly improved since reading Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus. I recommend this book as required reading for all pastors and teachers!

I’m currently doing a School of Biblical Studies here in Taiwan and am finding that historical background brings so much richness and revelation to the text. This post was right up my alley 🙂

…misapply God’s word, I mean.

Thanks so much, Lois. Wise words. And helpful. We need to humble ourselves and learn from others. Thankful to God for his grace in helping us in spite of our blindness. But it is a sobering word. And it makes me wonder just how we misapply it since we don’t see it well in context.

Thank you Lois for these thoughts and the quote from Eugene Nida.

I too, am an avid student of the biblical world view and Hebraic perspectives of the Bible scriptures. I have read many of your articles online with En Gedi Resources Centre, as well as your own website here and have learned so much from you. As of yet, I still want to purchase your books, “Listening to the Language of the Bible” and “Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus.” Someday soon. 🙂

I commend you for your research, your knowledge, and your expertise in these areas and want to encourage you to continue to keep us informed with your “discoveries.”

Blessings to you and thank you so much. Your ministry has touched my life in a profound way and has deepened my studies and understanding of the scriptures and my walk with our Rabbi and LORD Jesus.
