The following are some publications that are
planned for paperback release. (Estimated dates and
order are
subject to change.)
A
SURVEY OF THE APOSTOLIC SCRIPTURES
FOR THE PRACTICAL MESSIANIC
As
a Messianic Believer, do you have a problem
reading the New Testament? When you read the
Apostolic Scriptures, are you confused when you
encounter the Gospels, Acts, or Epistles? Have you
possibly been taught that the "New Testament"
replaces the "Old Testament," and that there are
contradictions between the two, only to be
reconciled by the coming of Yeshua? Do you have
difficulty reconciling the words of the Torah to
Yeshua, Peter, Paul, John, and the other
Apostles?
If
you have ever asked any of these questions, it
is time that you receive a re-introduction to
the Apostolic Scriptures. These texts record the
life story of Yeshua the Messiah, the history of
the First Century Messianic community, and the
challenges that the early Believers in Yeshua
faced. These texts are not contrary to the
Torah, but do continue God's progressive story
that begins in Genesis. They have valuable
lessons that every Messianic Believer and
Messianic congregation must learn in this hour,
as the Messianic community grows and matures.
A Survey of the Apostolic Scriptures for the
Practical Messianic takes you on a journey
through the New Testament from a distinct
Messianic point of view. The student, in company
with his or her study Bible, is asked to read
through each text of the Apostolic Scriptures,
jotting down characters, place names, key ideas,
and reflective questions. Each book of the New
Testament is then summarized for its
compositional data and asks you questions to get
a good Messianic feel for the text. This
workbook can be used for both personal and group
study, and will be a valuable aid for any
Messianic Believer wanting to study the whole
Bible on a consistent basis.
A
SURVEY OF THE TANACH
FOR THE PRACTICAL MESSIANIC
One of the major reasons that today’s Messianic
movement has grown in the past decade is a
significant interest by Believers in the Torah
and the Tanach. In too many cases, the Tanach
Scriptures were not probed in that great a
detail in a Jewish Believer’s traditional
Synagogue upbringing—and perhaps more serious, a
non-Jewish Believer’s Christian experience often
witnessed the Old Testament taking a back seat
to the New Testament in the Church. With many of
the ethical and moral controversies the greater
Judeo-Christian religious community is
experiencing in our age, a need for God’s people
to return to a foundational grounding in the
Tanach Scriptures is absolutely imperative. The
Old Testament cannot simply be disregarded any
more.
Many have stayed away from consulting the Tanach
not because of a lack of interest, but because
few want to have to deal with the controversies
it addresses. Unlike the Apostolic Scriptures,
constrained to the First Century C.E., the
period of the Tanach stretches back all the way
to the beginning of the universe itself.
Questions like: Who was the Pharaoh of the
Exodus? Did God actually condone the genocide of
the Canaanites? and Am I the only one who
thinks the Prophets are mentally disturbed?
are debates that many people do not want to
enter into. Even more significant is the effect
of critical scholarship which has attempted to
divide the Torah into non-Mosaic sources,
question the inspiration and historical
reliability of the text, and even regard much of
the Tanach as Ancient Israel’s mythology. For a
Messianic movement that claims to place a high
value on the Tanach, it is time that we join in
to these conversations.
A Survey of the Tanach for the Practical
Messianic
takes you through the Old Testament from a
distinct Messianic point of view. It presents a
theologically conservative perspective of the
books of the Tanach, but one that does not avoid
some of the controversies that have existed in
Biblical scholarship for over one hundred and
fifty years. The student, in company with his or
her study Bible, is asked to read through each
text of the Tanach, jotting down characters,
place names, key ideas, and reflective
questions. Each book of the Old Testament is
then summarized for its compositional data and
asks you questions to get a good Messianic feel
for the text. This workbook can be used for both
personal and group study, and will be a valuable
aid for any Messianic Believer wanting to study
the whole Bible on a consistent basis.
TORAHSCOPE,
VOLUME II
Every week in Jewish synagogues
the world over, a selection of a few chapters is
considered from the Torah (the Pentateuch or the
Law of Moses). The discipline of reading the
parashah or Torah portion on
Shabbat
(the Sabbath) has helped maintain the cohesion
of the Jewish people for millennia. As Messianic
congregations have been formed, this tradition
is something which has helped enliven the Bible
readings and studies of those, Jewish Believers
and evangelical Christians embracing their
Hebraic Roots alike, who look to Moses' Teaching
to tell us something about the relationship each
of us is to have with Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus
Christ), and how we are to grow in holiness.
What are the benefits of
consistently examining the Torah? What old
lessons might need to be re-learned every year,
and what are some new lessons for God's people
to be considering? How will the Torah form a
major part of the emerging Messianic movement's
understanding of the mission of God, and the
prophesied restoration of all Israel? Will we
really be able to understand the admonition,
"The secret things belong to the LORD our God,
but the things revealed belong to us and to our
sons forever, that we may observe all the words
of this law?" (Deuteronomy 29:29)?
TorahScope, Volume II
is a second year’s compilation of
insightful, reflective commentaries on the
weekly Torah readings, gleaned from the studies
and notes of William Mark Huey. Written from a
Messianic perspective, this volume shares his
conviction that a Believer's life and walk with
the Messiah Yeshua can be viewed through the
grid and lens of consistent Torah study. It
provides contemporary examples of the relevancy
of the Torah to all Messiah followers, and how
we are to all be conformed to His image (Romans
8:29).
TORAHSCOPE
APOSTOLIC SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS
The traditional Jewish discipline of reading the
weekly Torah portion every week, is something
that today’s Messianic Believers surely benefit
from--be they Jewish Believers who are
discovering more about their Messiah from Moses’
Teaching, or evangelical Christians
embracing their Hebraic Roots in a very real and
tangible way. However, there can be a distinct
tendency, at times, for the Messianic community
to focus so much on the Torah or Law of Moses,
that the continued revelation of God in the rest
of the Holy Scriptures is overlooked. Messianic
Believers have the profound responsibility to
recognize that as important as the Torah is to
people of faith, that the Torah’s goal or
consummation is Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus
Christ), as our mortal inability to fully keep
the commandments of the Law is to reveal our
need for a Divine Savior (Romans 10:4; Galatians
3:24).
How can today’s Messianic Believers really learn
to appreciate the role that the Torah and the
good news of Yeshua’s salvation play together,
as the Lord molds us into an effective group
that can fully accomplish His purposes? As many
turn to the weekly Torah and Haftarah readings
every week, Messianics have often associated a
selection of key passages from the Apostolic
Scriptures or New Testament. These either build
on a theme detected within the various
parashot, or they are intended to add
additional details for consideration.
TorahScope Apostolic Scriptures
Reflections is a compilation of
insightful, encouraging messages that
incorporates information from the weekly Torah
and Haftarah portions, connecting it to key
messages in the New Testament, gleaned from the
studies and notes of William Mark Huey. It is
the author’s intent that we can all allow the
great tapestry of God’s Word to mold us into men
and women who can understand the full importance
of being disciples of the Messiah of Israel.
CONFRONTING CRITICAL ISSUES
An Analysis of Subjects that
Affects the Growth
and Stability of the Emerging
Messianic Movement
Today's Messianic movement has arrived at a very
important theological and spiritual crossroads.
Much of our long term viability and
effectiveness as a faith community will be
determined by what takes place in the 2010s, and
by our approach to a series of important issues
surrounding the nature of the Messiah, the
reliability of Holy Scripture, our communication
style, and whether we want to see all people
included and welcome within our assemblies or
not.
Confronting
Critical Issues
is an important compilation book of some of TNN
Press' key
Confronting Issues
booklets, as well as some additional articles of
substance. These are bound to answer some
significant questions and controversies that all
of today's Messianic Believers have encountered
within their fellowships, congregations, and
Bible studies. This publication is also bound to
stir some of its own controversy, as it inquires
how we can be a mature, growing Messianic
movement that is able to accomplish all that our
Heavenly Father wants us to achieve --or whether
we are going to disregard our spiritual
potential to make a difference.
Some of the subjects
addressed in
Confronting Critical Issues
include:
● urban
legends present in the Messianic movement
● the Divinity and Messiahship of Yeshua
● the Shema and the plurality of
God
● potential paganism witnessed in the
stories of Holy Scripture, and how to avoid
liberal theology
● the influence of Jewish mysticism in the
Messianic movement
● the Divine Name of God
● proper, edifying communication for
today's Messianic Believers
● equality
for Jewish and non-Jewish Believers,
and
men and women in the Messianic movement
MESSIANIC TORAH HELPER
There are many aspects
regarding the subject matter of "the Torah" for
today's Messianic movement to consider. These
range from: the validity of the Torah or Law of
Moses, the historicity and reliability of the
Torah, the degree of applicability of the Torah
to Jewish and non-Jewish people, the role of
tradition in following the Torah,
and
changes affected to the role of the Torah in the
post-resurrection era via the sacrifice of
Yeshua (Jesus). Some of these aspects
surrounding Messianics' study and appreciation
of the Torah are handled quite well by the
current generation, and some of them are
frequently avoided or handled rather poorly.
The
Messianic Torah
Helper
is a valuable compilation of articles and
analyses designed to assist you, your family,
and your friends in approaching those important
areas of the Torah which need to be considered.
How have Jews and Christians approached the Law
of Moses in their theology? What are some of the
controversies surrounding the Pentateuch? Has
the Law been abolished? Are Jewish and
non-Jewish Believers in Israel's Messiah
both
supposed to keep the same Law? Does Jewish
tradition play any kind of role in following
Moses' Teaching? Are non-Jews who keep the Torah
trying to replace the Jewish people? These
questions, and many more, are some of those
considered in the
Messianic Torah Helper.
If you have ever inquired
about a wide range of Torah-related issues, then
the Messianic
Torah Helper
is definitely something for you. This book is an
excellent follow up to the extensive study
The New
Testament Validates Torah
by J.K. McKee.
