Messiah Yeshua, Divine Redeemer: Christology from a Messianic Jewish Perspective

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

C&S Volume 3: The Come and See series is a multi-volume collection of Messianic Bible Studies transcribed from Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum's original radio broadcasts. Each study is a solid foundation upon which you can stand or from which you can teach. The texts will edify you in your personal devotion or small group Bible study regardless of which topic you choose.

Volume 3 of Come and See is a comprehensive study of the Son of God. Dr. Fruchtenbaum's unique focus of looking at Yhua (Jesus) from a Messianic Jewish perspective adds a dimension to this field of systematic theology that is often missing in the church today. The author works his way through the Hebrew Scriptures and shows how the revelation of the Messiah gradually progressed to reveal a magnificent picture of the Deliverer to come. The study of the life of the Messiah and theologically relevant topics, such as the Incarnation and the Crucifixion, profits from this Jewish frame of reference as well. The questions and study suggestions at the end of the chapters will challenge anyone who desires to dig deeper into the Word of God.

Ruach HaKodesh: God the Holy Spirit

Messianic Jewish Perspectives on Pneumatology

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

The Come and See series is a multi-volume collection of Messianic Bible Studies. Volume 4 of this series deals with pneumatology and is a comprehensive study of God the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). The author's unique focus of looking at the third Person of the Trinity from a Messianic Jewish perspective adds an intriguing dimension to this field of systematic theology.

The study examines the Person of the Holy Spirit as well as His deity, works, and gifts. It offers extensive insight into typology and answers important questions, such as whether believers can sin against the Holy Spirit and if only people who "speak in tongues" are truly saved. The questions and study suggestions at the end of the chapters will challenge anyone who desires to dig deeper into the Word of God.

The Feasts and Fasts of Israel: Their Historical and Prophetic Significance

This work is devoted to those Jewish feasts and fasts that are observed on a yearly basis.

The introduction explores the historical background, function, and order of the Jewish calendar. This is followed by the first part of the book, which surveys the seven holy seasons of Israel. To set the stage, the sacrifices described in the book of Leviticus are presented, followed by an introduction of the holy seasons of Israel. Then, the festivals are studied one by one, beginning with Pesach and ending with Sukkot. The author explains how the holy seasons were to be celebrated in accordance with the Mosaic Law, how Rabbinic Judaism observes them, what their Messianic implications are, and how they have been or will be fulfilled in the Messianic program.

The second part of this commentary covers the post-Mosaic feasts of Israel, namely Chanukah and Purim. This is followed by a third part, which deals with Rosh Chodesh and Tisha B'Av, the minor Jewish feasts and fasts.

The commentary is based on Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum's decades of teaching and original research of the Talmudic source texts and the works of other scholars. Compiled and edited by Christiane K. Jurik, M.A., this work offers many practical graphs and illustrations which make it a helpful tool for those who seek to enhance their personal Bible study as well as for those who wish to prepare meaningful sermons and lectures.

The Footsteps of the Messiah: - Revised 2020 Edition

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

"The 2020 revision primarily focuses on correcting some formatting and spelling inconsistencies of the 2003-edition of this work as well as the editing of the text to improve its readability. Furthermore, it includes a new topical index as well as my altered view of II Thessalonians 2:3, which I developed after additional research of new scholarly work, such as Dr. Andy Woods' "The Falling Away - Spiritual Departure or Physical Rapture?", published in 2018 by Dispensational Publishing House." 

Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum - March 2020

Using the Book of Revelation as an end time road map, Dr. Fruchtenbaum weaves the prophetic writings of the Hebrew Scriptures and Messiah's teachings to reveal God's plan for the future of Israel and the world. Dr. Fruchtenbaum gathers the many pieces of the prophetic puzzle and places them in sequential order with the result summed up by Dr. Charles Ryrie in his foreword: "Those who read this book cannot help but be instructed and stimulated by his work."

Footsteps is detailed, thorough and scholarly, yet written in a style that the average reader can easily understand. With a wealth of wisdom drawn from his Jewish background and extensive research, the author even tackles the "problem passages" to provide a comprehensive overview of the entire range of prophetic truth."In a thoroughly biblical, balanced, and clear presentation, Arnold Fruchtenbaum plainly lays out God's plan for the future while avoiding the sensational errors of other prophetic writers. I have relied on this book as a resource for years." — Michael Rydelnik, Professor of Jewish Studies Program, Moody Bible Institute

The Footsteps of the Messiah:

Study Guide (Pre-Printed)

by Jackie Sciascia and Laina Maher

Jackie and Laina's burning desire to teach the illuminating truths of Dr. Fruchtenbaum's landmark work on prophecy led them to develop this remarkable study guide. Years of effort by these longtime friends of the ministry have gone into the writing and refinement of this new resource. The study guide has been tested for more than three years, with over one hundred students in various classroom settings. Designed around a straight forward question and answer format, the guide works equally well for large, small, or even home groups. Student response has been enthusiastic:

• "This is a great guide, makes Footsteps easy to understand..."
• "Could not have done it without the guide..."
• "Good questions, makes you think..."
• "Love all the bullet points in the guide..."
• "After taking this class using the guide, I have decided to lead a group out of my home."

A recent email comment from Debora C. in Montana:"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have taught Eschatology through three times (and am halfway through another class right now) using Footsteps as the primary resource. The best I could come up with was a hodgepodge of mismatched, seat-of-the-pants note guides to teach from. I'm always thinking 'I should carve out some time and make a workbook to minimize the amount of review I wind up doing.' Imagine my great delight when I logged on to Ariel.org and saw the new Footsteps Study Guide!"

If you are a group leader, this guide is an essential tool that will help you effectively communicate what the Bible teaches about what is yet to come. For personal study, this guide will prove invaluable to your grasp of the rich eschatological treasures awaiting discovery in Dr. Fruchtenbaum's "The Footsteps Of The Messiah."

The Remnant of Israel: The History, Theology, and Philosophy of the Messianic Jewish Community

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Thirty-five years after the publication of Hebrew Christianity: Its Theology, History, and Philosophy, Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum has again surveyed the rapidly changing face of the Messianic Jewish Community. The Remnant of Israel: The History, Theology, and Philosophy of the Messianic Jewish Community, is an update on the growing and diversifying community of Jews who have found favor with God by receiving Jesus as Messiah. Written by a Messianic Jew for Jew and Gentile alike, here is an articulate survey of the biblical position of the Messianic Jew in the setting of community. Dr. Fruchtenbaum again assesses how this community is distinctive and how it relates to the Jewish people, the Law of Moses, the local church, the State of Israel, missions, and many other timely topics. The rapid growth of the Messianic Jewish community has provoked interest as well as offense. Here is what is happening in the lives of Messianic Jews and how they and their movement relate their faith to the rest of the world.

The Sabbath

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

This detailed study of the Sabbath comes at a time when there is so much confusion and debate among both Jewish and Gentile believers regarding what the Bible really teaches about it. The apologetics used for mandatory Sabbath-keeping are almost exclusively based upon the Old Testament for obvious reasons: there is no New Testament command for believers in general or Jewish believers in particular to keep the Sabbath. The purpose of this study, then, will be to examine what the Sabbath is in both testaments. At the same time, it will examine arguments used to support mandatory Sabbath-keeping. This study examines the Sabbath in Judaism, the Old and New Testaments, the issue of Sunday worship and the Sabbath, the Sabbatical Year, and the Year of Jubilee.
