The Professor, Rabbi and Preacher Who Confronted the Elephants in the Room!

  We were known and often introduced as the Professor, Rabbi, and Preacher .  Ike Tennison  was the Professor,  Jeffrey Leynor  was the Rabbi, and I ( Jim Myers ) was the Preacher. Everyone knows that when a professor, a rabbi, and a preacher -- two Christians and one Jew -- are sitting at the table discussing Jewish and Christian Scriptures --  there are some very big elephants in the room .

A Kingdom Above All Nations!

  Before 1947 it was impossible to grasp the role of Jesus as a Jewish teacher in his generation. One of the most important and general contributions of the Qumran wisdom texts to New Testament studies lies in their extending what we know about wisdom teachings and wisdom teachers in Jesus’ time .

The Psalm Jesus Used to Create Parables in His Jewish Teachings

  In my previous emails, I have been using a handful of notes I made earlier when I was translating Psalm 49. Today, I am going to share the entire Psalm without any comments.

I Desperately Wanted to Know How to Become a Sheep!

  If someone had handed me a piece of paper with the words from a recent article I had written, I would have said, “I have no interest in understanding the teachings of Jesus and I don’t have a clue who Hillel is. And I have no interest in learning Hebrew! I just read a story about the “sheep and the goats.” I know I am a “goat” and “I desperately want to know how to become a sheep! ” Continue reading at – https://mailchi.mp/db0a50c88aeb/i-desperately-wanted-to-know-how-to-become-a-sheep

  Rabbi Leynor wrote this on October 23, 2014. “Studying the Bible and discussing its ancient words, concepts and ideas is something I enjoy very much. But, holding the hand of a person that is about to take their last breath or that has just discovered they have lost someone they loved very much is something very different . . . But, if you come and study the biblical text with me – that’s another matter! Choose Life, Do Tov & walk humbly with “Your Higher Power” (whatever that might or might not be!)” Continue reading at: https://mailchi.mp/383cc61077c6/hillel-and-jesus-a-kingdom-and-eternal-life-without-human-institutions
