Who was Yeshua, the man behind the name Jesus?We know him as Jesus, but to his mother, his teachers, and his first followers, he was Yeshua, a Jewish man steeped in the traditions, laws, and turbulent history of Israel. In "...but I say unto you...", Dr. Harry Russell meticulously reconstructs the world Yeshua walked in, revealing how every aspect of his life and ministry was a profound engagement with the Old Testament.Journey from the synagogue schools of Nazareth to the temple courts of Jerusalem. Discover the weight of the mezuzah on the doorpost, the taste of honey on a schoolboy's slate, and the fierce devotion to the Torah that shaped the boy who would become the Messiah. This book goes beyond the familiar stories, placing the teachings, temptations, and triumphs of Jesus firmly within the rich tapestry of Jewish history, from the Judges and Kings to the prophets who foretold His coming.More than a history, this is an invitation to hear the teachings of Jesus as his disciples first heard them, not as a rejection of their past, but as the stunning fulfillment of a story centuries in the making. Discover the Jewish Jesus, and in doing so, deepen your understanding of the Christ of faith.
