Jewish Targum and the New Testament

Jewish Targum and the New Testament by William Henderson is an insightful exploration into the profound connections between Jewish Targumic traditions and the foundational texts of Christianity. This book delves deep into the ways the Targum, a rich Jewish interpretive tradition of Hebrew scriptures, shaped early Christian thought and theology. Henderson reveals how early Christian writers, especially the Apostles, used the Targum as a tool to understand and express the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ in light of Jewish prophecies. From messianic expectations to the development of core Christian doctrines such as salvation and grace, this work offers readers an accessible yet scholarly analysis of how Jewish and Christian thought converged, ultimately transforming the world's understanding of God's plan for humanity. Ideal for anyone interested in biblical studies, theology, or the intersection of Judaism and Christianity, this book provides both historical context and spiritual insights, bridging the ancient texts with modern faith.
