Roar from Zion
Roar from Zion: Discovering the Power of Jesus Through Ancient Jewish Traditions | Paul Wilbur
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
The son of a Jewish father and Baptist mother, Paul Wilbur grew up attending synagogue. In college he was transformed by a Baptist ministers teaching about a rabbi, Jesus, who fulfilled the promise of the Torah. As he grew in his relationship with Jesus, Wilbur was reintroduced to the God of the Old Testament and began exploring his Jewish heritage. Along the way, he discovered the power of Jewish worship traditionsthe weekly Shabbat, with the power of Holy Communion and dedication to family, along with other high holy traditions and feast days. Observing those ancient rituals, now infused with the power of the Holy Spirit, Wilbur heard a sound that he describes as a roar from Zion. As evangelicals came to understand and incorporate ancient Jewish worship practices in their home and church lives, miracles broke out, fathers assumed their roles as the head of their families, prodigal children returned home, and marriages were restored. What began with one man is now becoming a movement, with tens of thousands taking part.

This wasn't what I was expecting. It was better. I was encouraged to continue on my faith path and embrace the Messiah more in his Jewish context than I have been. Not a deeply theological treatise, but an inspirational recalling of the move of God winessesed in and through Paul Wilbur. The modern western church has made a Gentile Jesus and disregarded his Jewishness and the Jews themselves. That needs corrected. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

This is my January #doublespin. My brain isn't ready for the #bookspin selection yet...😁 I'm hoping this will Prime the pump to delve into the next read.

tokorowilliamwallace I've got a similar book on Jewish social life in the first century (A.D. and B.C., Author but not book is tagged) I found thrifting at the local resale charity shop I considering reading soon (just discovering my dad is now going for his third postgraduate degree and seeing reviews of contemporary ANE historical studies and textual criticism of such milieu on Goodreads). It's been a while since I've done this kind of regular reading! 3y
BookDadGirlDad @tokorowilliamwallace I think that would be an interesting book to have on the shelf. The historical context of the time is more relevant to understanding the Scripture than most people pause to consider. The Hebraic and rabbinical mindset is far different than the Western. More confusion 3y
