Daniel Nessim – författare

The Didache as a mediating document between Jewish and gentile Christians, advocating Mosaic law without full conversion.Dating from the first century, the Didache offers a unique window into early Jewish Christianity. Its Jewish-Christian author seeks to mediate the Torah for the text's gentile recipients, steering diplomatically between the Scylla and Charybdis of the Law-observing church in Jerusalem and Paul's more open teaching. The Didache is thus very clear that gentile believers do not need to convert to Judaism, but at the same time its author argues that the Torah - particularly the second table of the Decalogue - is universal. The Deuteronomic paradigm of the 'Way of Life' against the 'Way of Death' applies to all.In Torah for Gentiles? Daniel Nessim explores this juxtaposition in depth. How is Jesus' 'easy yoke' to be held alongside the strenuous commands of Mosaic Law? What does it mean to attain perfection? The path the Didache offers is not as straightforward as one might suppose, yet both Jews and Christians would recognize its moral basis as largely the same as that which underpins Judaeo-Christian values today. Moreover, the Christian community it describes, from a time when that community still looked very much to its Jewish forebears, makes it a fascinating example of the origins of Christian life and worship.

"e;How does a Jewish person in the 21st century explore the question of whether Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah of Israel? And if a Jew has an epiphany through a dream or experience that Yeshua is the Son of God, what next? What are the first steps to follow Him who said, "e;Follow me"e;? In Derech Yeshua, Daniel Nessim provides responsible answers to these questions from the Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament, and in a way that affirm unequivocally that Jews who embrace Yeshua as the Son of David, the Moshiach of Israel, are called by God to remain Jews and not leave behind their Judaism. This book is a must-read for all fellow members of the tribe who want to know more about Jesus."e; --David Rudolph, PhD, Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies, The King's University"e;This is an excellent contribution to the work of communicating the Good News of Messiah to our people. I appreciated the organization of the writing -- logical and easily understood. I enjoyed Daniel's writing style -- compassionate and compelling. The content is truly 'evidence that demands a verdict' from our community to the greater Jewish community."e;--Sam Nadler, President, Word of Messiah Ministries"e;I highly recommend this informative, thoughtful and well-organized approach to Jewish evangelism and the discipleship of Jewish people who come to faith in Yeshua. Daniel Nessim has tremendous personal experience in the field of Jewish missions and this experience shows throughout Derech Yeshua. I pray that many Jewish people will find themselves traveling further down the path towards a personal relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob through the Messiah Jesus after reading this excellent book. I also highly recommend this volume as a toll to be used by non-Jewish believers who want to share the good news with Jewish friends and to help them grow in the lord."e;--Mitch Glaser, President, Chosen People Ministries
