1. The Jewish Gospels
The Story of the Jewish Christ
Argues that key Christian beliefs—such as the divinity of Jesus, the Son of Man messiah, and incarnation—emerged from currents within Second Temple Judaism rather than a break from it. Through close readings of Daniel 7, the Gospels, and contemporaneous Jewish sources like Enoch, Philo, and the Targums, it traces a binitarian strand of monotheism and strong messianic expectations shaping the earliest Jesus movement. Recasting the separation between Judaism and Christianity as a later development, it presents the earliest Christian texts as thoroughly Jewish in thought and practice.
