The Jewish Trinity [Hardcover]

Yoel Natan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 6, 2003

Conventional wisdom states that the Hebrew Scriptures only hint that there are persons of Yahveh. This book shows that Moses and other Bible writers wrote strikingly and often, both about the Trinity and the deity of the Messiah. The Old Testament is as explicit about the Trinity and the deity of the Messiah as is the New Testament. The reader of this book will come to know the Trinitarianism in the Hebrew Scriptures that Yahvists knew. The reader of this book will come to read the Bible the same way the inspired writers intended it to be read-as Trinitarian

5.0 out of 5 stars The Jewish Trinity and Sourcebook are Rosetta Stones to OT, November 8, 2003

This review is from: The Jewish Trinity (Paperback)

"The Jewish Trinity" and "The Jewish Trinity Sourcebook" are not just books. They are epoch-making works of genius. Gravity was always there, but it took a Newton to discover it. Lightning was always electrical. It took a Franklin to recognize it, and a Steinmetz to tame it, and an Edison to light up our lives with it.

The fact is now indisputable that the Jews in Jesus' day believed in the Triune God. The proof was always there in the Bible. Many theologians even suspected it. But it took Yoel Natan to dig it out and prove it beyond dispute.

These two volumes are not just tomes that will collect dust. These are going to be textbooks in a thousand seminaries that are interested in evangelism among the Jews, the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and even Muslims.

The volumes are priceless and indispensable. The world has been waiting for these volumes for two thousand years and didn't know it--just as the world waited for electric light and didn't know it.

Yoel Natan has brought to light the fact that our Hebrew forebears understood and worshipped the Holy Trinity as clearly as the writers of the Apostles' Creed and almost as clearly as the authors of the Nicene.

The Jewish Trinity and The Jewish Trinity Sourcebook are the Rosetta Stone to the Old Testament. All the evidence has been there staring us in the face for two millennia. Perhaps it is because this information is so desperately needed in our times that it has taken until now to search it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Natan's book clearly points out Christ in the Old Testament, November 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Jewish Trinity (Paperback)

I just read "The Jewish Trinity" by Yoel Natan and
think it's very exciting. It reminds me of John 5:39b
"These are the Scriptures that testify about me."
The whole Old Testament is about Jesus, and Natan
brings this out so clearly in his books.

His book shows that the references to Christ in the
Old Testament are legion. He points out that it is no
surprise that the apostles in Jesus' day were so
willing to accept Jesus as the Son of God. They were
used to thinking about plural persons from reading
their Scriptures. Yoel Natan shows that the Greek and
Hebrew words used in the Old Testament Scriptures at
Jesus' time clearly testify about the Father, Son and
Spirit--three persons, one God.

Be sure to visit Yoel Natan's website. It gives more
information on his books: The Jewish Trinity, The
Jewish Trinity Sourcebook, and Moon-o-theism.

This review is from: The Jewish Trinity (Paperback)

Scholars like to say that the Trinity is not found in the Old Testament, or there are only hints of the Trinity in the Old Testament. Yoel Natan, however, shows that the Old Testament has many, many proofs for the Trinity, and is, in fact, a Trinitarian book from start to finish.

Yoel Natan's Web site lists Yoel's other books: "The Jewish Trinity Sourcebook: Trinitarian Readings from the Old Testament," and "Moon-o-theism" book on Mideast Moon god religions. There is also a link to an EZBoard.com discussion group.
