The Soteriology of the Bible
by Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum
Volume 7 of the Come and See series examines the crucial topic of “soteriology,” the doctrine of salvation. The theology of salvation stands at the heart of the Christian faith, and as this book shows, there is an essential relationship between the nature of salvation and the character of the God who provides salvation. Dr. Fruchtenbaum presents soteriology from a dispensational perspective, answering questions about the nature and results of the atonement wrought by the Messiah’s death. He examines controversial topics such as Arminianism and Calvinism and leads the reader to a better understanding of the dichotomy between free will and election through a detailed study of relevant biblical passages.

What the Bible Teaches About Israel: Past, Present, and Future
An Abridged Version of Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology
by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum
Anyone who reads the Bible will soon realize that the Jewish people are the apple of God's eye. Israel, they will quickly see, is the centerpiece of divine, prophetic activity. Since God's Word places such an emphasis on this tiny nation, it seems only logical that the question of Israel is central for a proper understanding of the Scriptures. Some may ask: Hasn't the church replaced Israel? Aren't all born-again believers in Messiah Jesus "spiritual Jews"? Questions like these may only be answered on the basis of a proper systematic theology, one that includes a biblically developed Israelology. This work investigates four approaches to the theology of Israel past, present, and future, and scrutinizes beliefs that tend to confuse the identities of both Israel and the church.
The work is based on the author's dissertation titled, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology and published by Ariel Ministries. The Biblical Evangelist called Israelology a "tremendous, masterful book. Amillennialism, postmillennialism, and other forms of covenant theology go up in smoke under the withering blaze of biblical light Fruchtenbaum places on them." The abridged version focuses on the heart of Dr. Fruchtenbaum's dissertation and offers a revised and updated text as well as charts and illustrations to enhance the understanding of this important study.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - The Abridged Version
by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum
ISRAEL'S MESSIANIC KING
During His ministry to the Jewish people, Yeshua (Jesus) journeyed throughout the land promised to the Jewish patriarchs, presenting Himself to the Jews as their Messiah. He was a Jew living in a Jewish land among the Jewish people. Yet, much of the knowledge of this Jewish society, its culture and traditions has grown dim with the passage of time. In this work, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum shines a bright light on the life of Yeshua and the land of Israel during the Second Temple period, interpreting the Gospels from a Messianic Jewish perspective. To achieve this, Dr. Fruchtenbaum has done original research in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek source texts, and has also drawn on the works of other scholars and the writings of ancient rabbis.
It has taken about four decades of research and work for the account of the life and ministry of Yeshua the Messiah to come into its present form, published by Ariel Ministries in four volumes and an abridged version. The abridgment contains essentially the same material as the multi-volume set, but excludes the source texts for Dr. Fruchtenbaum's teaching. Ariel's Harmony of the Gospels provides the framework for his exegesis.
Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum holds a B.A. degree from Cedarville University in Hebrew and Hellenistics, a Th.M. degree in Hebrew and Old Testament Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary, and received his Ph.D. from New York University with the completion of his dissertation, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology. He is the founding director of Ariel Ministries and a much respected biblical authority in evangelical and messianic circles.

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 in 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.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - Vol. 1
by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum
During His ministry to the Jewish people, Yeshua (Jesus) journeyed throughout the land promised to the Jewish patriarchs, presenting Himself to the Jews as their Messiah. He was a Jew living in a Jewish land among the Jewish people, yet, much of the knowledge of this Jewish society, its culture, and traditions has grown dim with the passage of time.

A. T. Robertson's time-tested A Harmony of the Gospels provides the framework for his exegesis.
In the first volume of this multi-volume commentary on the Gospels, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum begins his detailed exegesis of the life of the Messiah by providing in-depth background information on the Second Temple period. He then covers the birth, childhood, and adolescence of Yeshua up to the point when He begins His public ministry.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - Vol. 2
by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum
Who Do You Say That I Am?
The second volume of this multivolume commentary on the Gospels opens with the beginning of Yeshua's public ministry. It analyzes the role His miracles were to play as signs to Israel — to bring the Jewish people to the point of decision about His Messianic claims and proclamations. The work moves on the dealing with Yeshua's authority over, conflict with, and repudiation of Pharisaic Judaism, which led to the rejection of His Messiahship. It is in this context that a specific generation of Israel became guilty of the unpardonable sin. This is followed by Yeshua's new focus on the training of His disciples for the work they would need to conduct in light of the rejection — the kind of work they would be performing in the book of Acts. This volume concludes with Yeshua's journey to Jerusalem in preparation for the Feasts of Tabernacles.

"Volume 2 of Arnold Fruchtenbaum's study about Yeshua takes us deep into the Second Temple and rabbinic Jewish background that helps to explain this unique first century figure. It is a fascinating journey with many details that illuminate the life of the Messiah of Israel. While one might raise a question here and there, Fruchtenbaum is fair always showing what the discussion at any point is. His full citing of Jewish texts allows the reader to see the direction of the conversation. This book is full of important observations about Jesus in a Jewish context. It is well worth the time of a careful read and will be a handy resource for a long time to come." — Darrell Bock (Executive Director for Cultural Engagement, Howard G.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - Vol. 3
by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum
Not my will, but Yours, be Done.
In the third volume of this multivolume commentary on the Gospels, Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum delves into the last six-month period of the life of Messiah, from the Feast of Tabernacles to the agony of Gethsemane. During this time, the multitudes began to accept the Pharisees' explanation that Yeshua was able to perform unique miracles because He was demon possessed. The volume covers the third messianic miracle — the healing of a man born blind. It moves on to the most extensive prophetic discourse of the King and to the observance of the last Passover. The work concludes with the agony of Gethsemane, during which Yeshua fought one of His greatest spiritual battles, as Satan made one more attempt to keep Him from the cross.

Yeshua: The Life of Messiah from a Messianic Jewish Perspective - Vol. 4
by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum
IT IS FINISHED.
Tetelestai. The Gospels record that this was the last word Yeshua spoke from the cross. When the Messiah uttered it, He proclaimed that He had accomplished what He came for: He had paid the debt mankind owed God the Father-the debt of sin.
No single event in human history has received more scrutiny than the suffering and crucifixion of Yeshua. In the fourth volume of this work, Dr. Fruchtenbaum meticulously analyzes Messiah’s final days, beginning with His arrest and culminating in His ascension. As he did in the previous volumes, the author places the events in chronological order. The basis of this order is the Gospel accounts themselves and what is known about first-century Jewish culture through historical and rabbinical records. The work also includes a collection of sequels from the books of Acts and Hebrews, and other relevant writings. Additionally, this volume contains an epilogue which surveys the history of the Messianic movement, thus concluding this comprehensive work on the life of Messiah from a Jewish perspective.
