Jerusalem Perspective Online describes itself as a site interested in “Exploring the Jewish Background to the Life and Words of Jesus.” Sign up for their free Jerusalem Perspective Email Updates. The latest article is “Rabbinic Literature: A Spiritual Treasure.” It especially focuses on a part of the Mishnah called the Pirke Avot or “Sayings of the Fathers.” There are some interesting connections with the sayings of Jesus… (BTW, this document is available as a free download for BibleWorks7. Look for Pirke Aboth here.)
Also note that the site has some free articles. One I just noticed is about the “Finger of God,” a topic we discussed in class. Check it out.
