The Gospel of Christ Crucified offers a biblical reconstruction of the principal elements that make up the apostolic gospel. Assuming a first-century Jewish worldview, the apostles understood the death of Jesus primarily in sacrificial terms for the atonement of sins. In this way, their presupposed expectations of the future and eternal life remained fundamentally unaltered—the day of the Lord, resurrection of the dead, and kingdom of God would assuredly come because their Messiah had been vindicated by God. Far from changing, spiritualizing, or realizing their Jewish hopes, the death and resurrection of Jesus amplified them. Moreover, the fact that the Holy Spirit was poured out following Jesus’ ascension confirmed this gospel of Christ crucified.

In his new book, When a Jew Rules the World, Richardson paints a picture of what that one-thousand-year reign will be like, along the way blow-torching the notion that gentile Christians have "replaced" the Jews and Israel as the people of promise. Richardson lays out the tragic history of anti-Semitism within the church from the very beginning in what may be the most thorough repudiation of what has become known as “Replacement Theology,” or, as Richardson calls it, “Supersessionism.”

Paul’s discipleship agenda was defined by his native Jewish apocalyptic worldview. The novelties of his thought—namely, the death of Israel’s Messiah, the unique gift of God’s Spirit, and the intentional mission to the gentiles—seem to be framed within the common Jewish eschatological parameters of the day of the Lord, the judgment, the resurrection of the dead, and the messianic kingdom. Moreover, for Paul this eschatology was the primary driver of discipleship—comforting in the midst of tribulation, anchoring the gifts of the Spirit, and informing divine mission. Paul thus discipled the gentiles into the hope of Israel.

R. Kendall Soulen's "The God of Israel and Christian Theology" critiques how traditional Christian assertions, like the uniqueness of Jesus and the finality of salvation in Christ, have often been framed in a supersessionist manner, which has been destructive. Soulen argues that these perspectives have historically marginalized Judaism and that Christian theology must recognize the continuing significance of the Jewish people and the Hebrew Bible. His work offers a constructive proposal to reframe Christian theology in a way that respects the narrative unity of the Christian canon and the divine-human covenant without anti-Judaism​.

Bible readers generally understand Galatians as Pauls dissertation against the Torah and against Judaism. More than any other book of the New Testament, Galatians defines the line between Messianic Judaism and greater Christianity.

Paul was a prodigy educated in the most elite schools of Pharisaism. He wrote and thought from that Jewish background, rendering several key passages of his work incomprehensible to readers unfamiliar with rabbinic literature.

This collection of sermons on a Messianic Jewish approach to Galatians opens Pauls world and provides the historical Jewish context necessary to decipher the epistle.

In an easy-to read, narrative style, Torah Club author D. Thomas Lancaster, takes his readers from one end of the epistle to the other, challenging conventional interpretations and offering new insights to reveal the Jewish Paul.

Most interpretations of Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians miss the point. That’s because most interpretations assume that Christ abolished the Torah to remove the dividing wall of hostility between Jews and Gentiles, thereby merging both into a new Christian identity called the One NewMan. In this view, the One New Man is neither Jewish nor Gentile.

This collection of sermons from Torah Club author, D. Thomas Lancaster, provides readers with the missing Jewish context and concepts necessary to understand the epistle. Rather than homogenizing Jewish and Gentile identity in the body of Messiah, Paul’s epistle stresses that distinction. He emphasizes the significance of the nations turning to the Messiah of Israel as evidence that God’s eternal purposes are being worked out through Yeshua. This easy-to-read collection of teachings on Ephesians is practical, applicable, deeply theological, and full of surprises.

Does the New Covenant really replace the Old Covenant? Christian replacement theology is solidly based on a misunderstanding of the meaning of the new covenant. The church teaches that the new covenant cancels the Torah and Gods covenant with the Jewish people. Messianic Judaism teaches that Yeshua did not abolish the Torah, but if thats true, what about the new covenant? Doesnt the new covenant of grace and faith replace the old covenant of works and law? In five engaging lectures, Torah Club author D. Thomas Lancaster digs into the Bibles prophecies to dispel many of the common myths and misunderstandings about the new covenant.

David C. Mitchell's "Messiah ben Joseph" is a comprehensive study of the slain messiah figure in Rabbinic Judaism, tracing its origins back to the Pentateuch. Mitchell argues that the concept of Messiah ben Joseph predates the Common Era and emerges from early Judaic messianic thought. He examines texts from the Bible, the Talmud, and medieval Jewish writings, providing an extensive collection of references. This work is significant for understanding the duality of messianic figures in Judaism and their implications for Jewish-Christian dialogue and biblical scholarship​.

The Apocalyptic Gospel Podcast explores the Gospel as a first-century Jew would have understood it. A conversation about the Gospel, the Kingdom of God, or the Day of the Lord in the first century would have evoked a body of ideas not immediately present with a simple word study of these terms. In this weekly podcast, a pastor, campus minister, and missionary mine the Torah, Biblical Prophets, and Second Temple writings for the origin and development of these ideas as we help give context to this first-century Jewish message and encourage disciples of Jesus to boldly proclaim it and patiently wait for the God of Israel to fulfill his covenantal promises.
