“Tov Rose has written an advanced Old Testament study to show that the message of the Old Testament and the New Testament are completely consistent in presenting Jesus as the Word of God. His book shows that the New Testament is very much a product of 1st Century Jewish thought and messianic expectations. It is meaty enough for a 1st year seminary student, yet easy enough to read for any serious student of the Bible.” – Joel Richardson
"Jesus: The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" is one of the most comprehensive books "defending the deity of Yeshua (Jesus) for Jews." (Dr. Daniel Juster).
The book delves into the life of Jesus and His relationship with the God of the Old Testament. It explores Ezra the Scribe's Midrashic Hermeneutic (Bible interpretation method), how it is used by the New Testament writers, and the history of the Bible's manuscripts, including the controversy surrounding the Divine Name.
Tov discusses the names and attributes of God, including the Word of God in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. It presents evidence from the Hebrew Bible, ancient and modern Jewish scholars, and New Testament writers to support the identity of Jesus as the Messiah, citing fulfilled prophecies, types, and especially how the ancient Jewish marriage structure is on of the main overarching themes or threads woven throughout the Bible that connected both the Old and New Testaments.
Unlike Anything Else
He analyzes the personal appearances and references of Messiah in the Old Testament and exploring every possible way to find Jesus in the Old Testament. It examines Bible verses stating Jesus is God and discusses His role as "God Among Us." The book also explores the concept of the "Son of God" and Jesus' ultimate purpose of presenting us to His Father.
Tov ends with something few others have attempted, cataloguing the Kingdom of God's governmental roles unique to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit revealed from the Old Testament to the New, highlighting their distinct responsibilities and characteristics.
