Rabbis who Witnessed the Power of Yeshua's Gospel

The video below is a lecture given at Lanier Theological Library early in 2020 on a most intriguing topic, the interaction of Rabbis in the Talmud with early followers of the Nazarene. The lecturer, Joseph Shulam, grew up in Jerusalem, where he was introduced to the New Testament in high school. He became a follower of Yeshua (Jesus) and moved to the United States for college. After his return to Jerusalem, Shulam studied Biblical Archaeology and Bible at Hebrew University. He also attended for 3 years at a rabbinical college and pursued graduate studies at Hebrew University.

Dr. Shulam has written and also partnered in writing several books, including commentaries on Romans, Acts, and Galatians. His take on classical Jewish texts and the New Testament has been eye-opening for many audiences. If you are interested in his books, I suggest you visit his Author page on Amazon to learn more.
