The Amazing Doctrines of Paul As Midrash: The Jewish Roots and Old Testament Sources for Paul's Teachings

Ed Vasicek, "the Midrash Detective," traces doctrines associated with Paul to their Old Testament Jewish Root sources. Putting together the Old Testament "mother text" along with the New Testament midrash (elaboration) means the reader has more context and can better understand Paul's words.With a new variety of viewpoints about the intent of Paul's teaching, this book suggests that correlating Old and New Testament and Jewish Roots texts takes the "rocket science" out of interpreting Paul.Targeted toward serious lay persons, ministry professionals, and academics alike, this work should appeal to all interested in the Jewish Roots of Christianity and Messianic Judaism - and, of course, Paul's amazing doctrines!
