A Passover Haggadah for Jewish Believers
by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum
Don't believe everything you read... this book is as important for Gentile believers as Jewish ones!

The book gives a step-by-step explanation of the Jewish Passover seder, interspersed with New Testament passages that pull together all the biblical references to the “Last Supper.”

Ariel's Harmony of the Gospels:
Based on "A Harmony of the Gospels" by A. T. Robertson
by Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Th.M., Ph.D.
Description: When the theologian and Bible scholar Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum developed his teaching on the life of the Messiah from a Jewish perspective, he used A. T. Roberton's harmony of the Gospels as a basis for his studies. However, he deviated from Robertson's work whenever the scholar chose not to follow Luke's sequential order of Messiah's life and ministry. Furthermore, Dr. Fruchtenbaum chose a thematic, not a geographical, approach to establish a coherent chronology of the events depicted in the four Gospels.
The basic translation used is the American Standard Version of 1901. However, the archaic language has been modernized, and the names of persons and places were transliterated in accordance with Hebrew pronunciation. The result of these changes to Robertson's harmony have now been compiled by Dr. Fruchtenbaum and Jan Marek Kopytek in Ariel's Harmony of the Gospels, a work that clearly shows the Jewishness of the Messiah's life, actions, and words.

Commentary Series: The Book of Acts
by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum
The book of Acts is an exciting and valuable biographical account of the first followers of Yeshua the Jewish Messiah and the first thirty years of the history of the church, the body of the Messiah. It records the enormous success of the apostles who, in the power of their God, started spreading the good news of the Jewish Messiah first throughout the Jewish world and later throughout the non-Jewish world. Opening with the resurrected Yeshua training His disciples, the book naturally follows the description of the life of the Messiah in the Gospels, and especially in the Gospel of Luke. The first fifteen chapters and chapter 21 of Acts are particularly relevant to the Scriptures' Jewish frame of reference in general and the Messianic Jewish community in particular.

Commentary Series: The Book of Genesis
by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum
In structure, the Book of Genesis is a series of eleven family histories, or toldots, compiled and edited by Moses. Throughout the vivid detail provided in Genesis, Dr. Fruchtenbaum's exegesis allows God's Word to make its own case for a literal interpretation of the Bible. Dr. Fruchtenbaum's grammatical, historical-geographical approach to Scriptures from a Jewish perspective provides the reader an exciting new way to grasp and unlock the richness of this book of the beginnings of all nations, and in particular, the beginning of the nation of Israel.
For instance, Dr. Fruchtenbaum brings to life the many genealogies in Genesis as they relate to God's promises of a Messiah. Genesis makes clear the Messiah would one day come out of Israel to redeem the nation of Israel and to bless all the families of the earth.
Important to understanding one's relationship to God, Genesis presents four of God's eight covenants. Three are covenants God made with humanity in general, and these are associated with the familiar stories of Creation, the Fall, and the Flood. The fourth one, an unconditional covenant with Abraham, is the beginning of the story of the nation of Israel, based on God's promises of descendants and Land to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The account of the nation of Israel that Moses begins in Genesis, he then continues in the four books of the Bible that follow.

Commentary Series: The Book of Isaiah
by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum
The book of Isaiah is one of the most popular and fascinating books of the Hebrew Scriptures. Its author, Isaiah, is often called the prince of prophets, for he wrote with extraordinary beauty and imagery. His work is full of facts about the society of Israel around the year 700 B.C. Its chief value, however, lies in the abundance of prophecy, ranging from near to far prophecies and everything in between. Like no other author before him, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum has dissected the various levels of prophecy and provided a meticulous exegesis of the text. His theological orientation remains strictly dispensational with a pretribulational view of the rapture and is presented from a Messianic Jewish perspective. In his work, the author has consulted the great rabbis of the past and reproduced their viewpoints wherever appropriate. The result is a fascinating commentary that leaves no doubt that Isaiah foresaw both the first and second coming of the Jewish Messiah, as well as the final restoration of Israel in preparation for the Messianic kingdom.

Commentary Series: The Book of Romans
by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum
The epistle to the Romans is unique, being the first time in history that theology had been systematized in written form. The first eight chapters in Paul’s theological treatise deal with the theology of God’s righteousness. No human being can meet God’s standards of righteousness, yet He has provided righteousness through salvation in Yeshua the Messiah, which includes justification, sanctification, and glorification. Thus, the chapters end with Paul’s assurance that absolutely nothing can separate believers from the love of God.
Before going on to apply these truths to the believer’s life (chapters 12-16), Paul first addresses God’s righteousness in His relationship with Israel (chapters 9-11), for at the end of chapter 8, the believer might wonder what was to become of God’s many promises to Israel that had been laid out in the Hebrew Bible. Israel today is largely a people in a state of unbelief. It does not appear that God’s promises to His people were kept in Paul’s day, let alone two thousand years later. If this was or is true of Israel, how can the believer today trust that there is indeed nothing that can separate him from the love of God? If the gospel is for the Jews first, as Paul writes in Romans 1:16, why are so few Jews saved? How do Gentiles know they can trust God if His promises to Israel have not been fulfilled?
In this commentary, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum addresses these and other critical issues whose proper understanding can truly revolutionize any believer’s walk with the Lord. The author is the foremost Messianic Jewish scholar of this generation and is therefore well qualified to discuss the Jewish context of the epistle to the Romans. As a dispensational theologian, he offers his readers a truly unique commentary that draws them closer to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Commentary Series: The Messianic Jewish Epistles
by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum
Of the twenty-one epistles in the New Testament, five were written to Jewish believers dealing with their specific needs and issues in mind. There are things in these epistles applicable to all believers, but some are true only of Jewish believers. The epistles are Hebrews, James, I & II Peter, and Jude.
The first century Messianic Jewish community was faced with two major problems: persecution and false doctrine.
To deal with the first problem of persecution, Hebrews, James, and I Peter were written. Persecution took place both within the Land of Israel and among the Jewish believers of the Diaspora, Diaspora - being a technical term for Jews living outside the Land of Israel (e.g., James 1:1; I Peter 1:1). The book of Hebrews was written from within the Diaspora in order to deal with the persecution of Jewish believers in the Land of Israel. The epistles of James and I Peter were written in order to deal with the persecution of Jewish believers in the Diaspora; James written from within the Land of Israel, and I Peter written from within the Diaspora itself.
To deal with the second problem of false doctrine, two other epistles were written: II Peter and Jude. Second Peter was written from one part of the Diaspora to Jewish believers in another part of the Diaspora. Jude was written from within the Land of Israel to Jewish believers in the Diaspora.

Faith Alone: The Condition of Our Salvation
by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum
An exposition of the Book of Galatians and other relevant topics.
Exactly what must one do to receive eternal life? The answer should be easy for Bible believing followers of Messiah, but too many believers think they can and need to add to their salvation some kind of work. Salvation by grace through faith seems inadequate.
In Faith Alone, Arnold Fruchtenbaum expounds on the necessary condition of salvation. He compares the Law of Moses with the Law of Messiah and responds to those who contend that salvation is earned by works or obedience to the Law of Moses. By looking closely at Paul’s arguments in his letter to the Galatians, Dr. Fruchtenbaum expounds the truth that salvation is indeed by grace through faith alone.
“After 30 years of involvement with our Messianic movement, I know we need this book! Confusion exists regarding Law and Grace, and the message of Messiah’s Good News will be brought into clear focus for both Jewish and Gentile believers by this book.” — Mottel Baleston, Messianic Jewish Teacher
“The title of this book, Faith Alone: The Condition of our Salvation, reflects the 2000 year old battle still raging concerning the understanding of the relationship between faith and works. What are the conditions toward salvation? What role does faith and works employ towards ones’ salvation? Some have misunderstood the words of James and have erringly put him in opposition to Paul as concerning this fundamental teaching; Dr. Fruchtenbaum demonstrates that both of these New Testament writers spoke under the same Spirit. His exceptional linear exposition on this subject will clarify this deeply important doctrine.” — Jacques Isaac Gabizon, Pastor, Leader of Beth Ariel Messianic Congregation, Montreal, Quebec
Based upon Messianic Bible Studies: The Book of Galatians, The Law of Moses and the Law of Messiah, The Conditions of Salvation, and The Lordship of the Messiah (purchased here individually), this fully revised volume beautifully unifies the theme of “faith alone” from the book of Galatians and beyond, now with newly expanded material including answers to objections.
