In the city of Detroit, two brothers raised by a single-parent mother who experience a hard life of struggle and poverty.These two siblings experienced a childhood that established a bond that NO MAN or GROUP suppose to be able to penetrate between the two brothers.A window of opportunity were provided for the eldest brother to escape poverty, and he seized the moment. At an early age, the two brothers went their separate ways. The eldest went to the military to become a soldier for the U.S.M.C, while his younger brother were left to be embrace by the streets.Years of not communicating nor being around each other, caused the two brothers to grow up on two different set of policies and rule's that totally went against each other.Twenty year's later, they were blessed to cross paths with each other. Both siblings were well rooted and firm into what they believe and accepted, and realized that neither one were the same as they remembered. Which, in return caused one sibling to betray and commit a brotherly treason on the other..., not because he didn't love him; but due to the nature of feeling that his younger brother were an embarrassment to his position, his name, and his false prestige in life and felt the need to join forces against his younger brother to get him remove from society for the remaining of his life.

Is it even possible to say anything new about Jesus of Nazareth? Disciples and detractors alike have been weighing in for two thousand years. Scholarship in the last fifty years has been greatly enhanced by the recognition of the Jewishness of both the historical Jesus and the life and teachings of the apostle Paul. But the Gospels themselves, the texts that preserve the words and deeds of Jesus, have not been subject to the same level of consideration in this regard. Until now. This book surveys the historical, theological, and practical issues that arise when the Gospels are read as Jewish literature. So yes, there is something new here about Jesus.The Jewish context of Jesus and his movement is better understood today thanks to archaeology, the ongoing publication of ancient texts, and changes in the way scholars think about Jewish society in late antiquity.A Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Gospels, whose contributors are well-known in the field, updates all of the relevant topics relating to Jesus and the Gospels in light of these exciting new developments.A companion to A Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith (ISBN 9781683071648), the book is split into five sections: Textual Roots, Intertextual Roots, Narrative Roots, Theological Roots, and Intercultural Roots.Written by an international group of Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus as Messiah, A Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Gospels is for all who want to learn more about these four biblical accounts and how they portray the man from Nazareth within his own historic and cultural setting. Contributors include Daniel M. Gurtner, Darrell Bock, Craig A. Evans, Sheila Gyllenberg, Craig L. Blomberg, Eckhard J. Schnabel, Catherine Sider Hamilton, David Mishkin, Mark L. Strauss, Michael L.
