"Hey That's Not In My Bible" Part1

Extra-Biblical Literature: Introduction and Utilization

Does the Talmud, Mishnah, Gemara, Midrash, Targum, Tosefta, Rambam and Rum-pa-pum leave you scratching your head? Do you find it difficult to find the book of Enoch, the book of First Maccabees or the Gospel of Peter in your Bible? YES? Well, this is the resource your need to help you sort out your extra-biblical resources.

Drawing on his introductory material for Torah Club Volume Four, D. Thomas Lancaster takes you on a crash-course tour of extra-biblical literature that will help you make sense of the various sources surrounding the sacred text.

"Hey, That's Not in the Bible!" Extra-Biblical Literature: Introduction and Utilization, tells the story of the evolution of Jewish literature from the days of Ezra and Nehemiah, through the Apostolic Period and up to the close of the Talmudic era. Torah luminaries like Rashi and Rambam are also given their place, as well as comments on the esoteric texts of Jewish mysticism. This is the resource you need for sorting out your resources.

This is a long series - I've only gone through about half of it - but its very helpful in gaining an understanding to the cultural backdrop against which Christ and the apostles taught and wrote. - Bob

Amen ! and Amen ! A closed mind is a terrible thing to open...much better an open mind. Got to have context to have text.

Thank you for showing us that it is perfectly fine to inquire of Jewish books and texts to better understand the Scriptures. I have been doing just that for many years now. We need the insight to get a better grasp about Jewish culture in Yeshua's day and in the days of the Prophets and the Patriarch's.

Thank you for helping so many see that we need the Jewish literature sources to better understand our beloved Scriptures. I have used these sources and have quoted them often in my teachings. Many think that I am a heretic for using these, but many see that these books rather help to fill in so many cultural and historical gaps found in Gentile cultures. We need to gain all of the details that we can to better teach and share truth. Thanks for the video series.
