The Messianic Writings

       Translated and Annotated by Daniel Gruber

These Jewish writings present themselves as completely dependent upon and flowing from the Law, the Writings, and the Prophets. Traditional translations of these Messianic Writings perpetuate systematic errors of immense magnitude β€” errors which significantly distort the message and are inextricably linked to horrific historical consequences.

This new translation is faithful to the Jewish-Greek text and its context. Notes from rabbinic sources and explanatory notes help to clarify the world of the text.

β€œIt will open your eyes, challenge your mind, and possibly change your heart!”

Torah and the New Covenant

by Daniel Gruber

Two communities, which both started out from Jerusalem, have long pointed their members in opposite directions to pray and serve God. Members of both have seen an irreconcilable conflict between the Law of Moses and the New Covenant which Yeshua brought.

Traditional understanding ignores the historical reality, which is actually quite clear. As Irenaeus recorded in "Against Heresies," written about 180 A.D.: "the Apostles... allowed the Gentiles to act freely, yielding us up to the Spirit of God. But they themselves, while knowing the same God, continued in the ancient observances... Thus did the Apostles... scrupulously act accoring to the dispensation of the Mosaic law."

Was there a conflict between how they lived and what they believed and taught? Here is the opportunity to examine the Scriptures anew in the hope of distinguishing between ageless wisdom and accumulated error.

The Separation of Church & Faith - Copernicus and the Jews

by Daniel Gruber

In the time of Nicholas Copernicus, the heavens and all that was in them revolved around the earth. This was not a belief that needed to be argued, it was simply an observable fact. People could see it with their own eyes. Scientists, mathematicians, and philosophers affirmed it. Religious doctrine did too. There was, however, one small problem. The planets, though insignificant in size, moved in continual defiance of the enshrined system. By challenging the system and finding the true center, Copernicus began a revolution that transformed life on earth. This book is about a similar conceptual error in the enshrined systems of today. It proposes a different center, one which challenges the prevailing systems, but fits and predicts the data.

"Copernicus will surely stimulate a good deal of good discussion. Much of the research is ground-breaking and even when the reader wants to dissent, the discussion is always well worth pondering."

"I can't remember when I've enjoyed a book more, or disagreed with one more."

"This is a serious book for the serious reader. It is for all those who love the truth and are willing to have their views challenged. For such readers, this carefully written and well-researched volume offers much food for thought, and while you may not agree with every point, you will certainly come away enriched. In a day when many lightweight and even sensationalistic books are being written in the name of 'New Testament restoration' or 'Jewish roots,' this heavyweight study stands out as worthy of attention and discussion."

Rabbi Akiba's Messiah - The Origins of Rabbinic Authority

by Daniel Gruber

It is not easy to overestimate the significance of the Bar Kokhba Revolt. Because of its long-term consequences, it may well be considered the greatest tragedy in Jewish history. The disaster was further compounded by the fact that Rabbi Akiba, the father of rabbinic Judaism, proclaimed Bar Kokhba, the leader of the rebellion, to be God's Anointed, the Messiah. For almost nineteen hundred years, people have asked, as Franz Rosenzweig expressed it, "Why did even the wisest teacher of his age fall for the false messiah, Bar Kochba, in the time of Hadrian?" This book answers that question. Akiba's proclamation appears to be a well-reasoned decision that was completely consistent with the whole thrust of his life – the establishment of rabbinic authority over all Israel.
