The Mystery of Romans: The Jewish Context of Paul’s Letters,
by Mark D. Nanos
This treatment of the major theological backbone of the letter asserts a continuity of the apostle’s Jewishness beyond his own revelation of Messiah’s identity, showing commitment to Judaism while seeking to edify both fellow Jew and righteous Gentile. Instead of a repeal of eternal covenants, it is defined as an expansive continuation allowing inclusion of all formerly distant by traditional Jewish views. An excellent interpretation of the letter's central themes.

The Irony of Galatians: Paul’s Letter in First-Century Context,
by Mark D. Nanos
Galatians, more than any other New Testament text, has suffered a profound misunderstanding by Christianity. Its complex content has been used in ways that its author likely never intended. This look presents a clarity of context redefining the letter's intent by setting it within a Jewish outlook on the role of Gentiles in the Divine redemptive plan. One of the most important works on Galatians ever written, it challenges and encourages with refreshing insight.

Paul the Convert,
by Alan F. Segal
Paul was a complex individual, forged out of a history of arduous study and application of the Word and traditional views of Judaism's most revered spiritual teachers. His rich theological background readied him to distill religious truth to the Gentiles unified in the faith of his own people. This offers a perspective of Paul harmonizing his odd position among mostly Gentile believers, factoring in his Jewishness while navigating the largely uncharted waters of a strange Gentile response to the Messiah long expected by the Jewish people.

Forgotten Origins: The Lost Jewish History of Jesus and Early Christianity,
by Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierrez
Christianity was birthed from Judaism, and its major estrangement from the Hebraic foundation came through no simple means. Addressed herein are the historical factors that bore upon the distancing and eventual transformation of a Jewish sect into something resembling only in faint echoes its Semitic origins. The complexity is shown by differing views throughout the ages, as well as the unfortunate factors resulting in the current environment of spiritual distinction between Judaism and Christianity.

The Judaisms of Jesus’ Followers: An Introduction to Early Christianity in its Jewish Context,
by Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierrez
The multi-faceted practices of early Christians has widely gone unaddressed. Originating as a Jewish Messianic sect, no monotone faith expression existed, but encompassed shades of practice. These layered expressions developed more uniformly in the face of struggle and rejection from different sides. Through it all, lingering Jewish aspects remained even after formalization occurred. This is a vital address of the context and history in which these matters evolved.

Analyzing the Gospels,
by Xus Casal
Ambitious in scope but focused in nature, this book provides a welcoming and ample presentation on a broad spectrum of Gospel-related topics with the intent to return them to their Jewish origins. From history to theology, pointed addresses fill the pages with succinct but sound research and quotes from ancient sources, startlingly refreshing evidences proving the truth that the Gospels truly flourish as founts of spiritual vivification when approached within the boundaries of Jewish religious thought.
