Discover the rich biblical and Jewish foundations of Christianity with Willem J. Ouweneel's three-volume series De Sjechinah, De Torah en De Messias. In this Jewish-Christian trilogy, the author explores three important themes of faith from both Jewish and Christian perspectives. The three volumes focus on God's presence, His teachings and the significance of the Messiah. Biblical texts are examined alongside insights from Jewish tradition, including the Talmud and rabbinic writings.

Volume 1 - De Sjechinah: God's Presence Among His People

The first volume explores one of the most profound subjects in the Bible: the Shekinah. This term refers to the glorious presence and closeness of God, both among His people and in His personal relationship with humanity. Willem J. Ouweneel traces this theme from the Garden of Eden, where God enjoyed fellowship with humanity, to the future when God's presence among people will become a reality on the new earth. What will it be like when God dwells among humanity? Although this future reality is beyond our imagination, the author encourages readers to reflect deeply on it, both for their own spiritual growth and for the glory of God's name.

Volume 2 - De Torah: God's Teaching and Law

The second volume of the trilogy focuses entirely on the Torah, the Hebrew term for teaching or law. The author begins with the Torah of Moses and then explores the teachings of the Messiah. He examines the meaning of God's instruction from both Jewish and Christian perspectives. Alongside the Bible, Ouweneel draws extensively on insights from Jewish tradition. These include the teachings of Talmudic scholars as well as references to the Targums and Midrash. The Targums are Aramaic translations and interpretations of the Tanakh, while Midrash encompasses rabbinic explanations and applications of the Hebrew Bible. By examining these sources alongside Scripture, this volume provides a deeper understanding of the Jewish background of God's teachings.

Volume 3 - De Messias: The Significance of the Mashiach

Following the Shekinah and the Torah, the third volume focuses on the Messiah. The Hebrew word Mashiach means Messiah and corresponds to the Greek word Christos, from which the title Christ is derived. This subject forms an important connection between Judaism and Christianity. Expectations surrounding the Messiah and the significance of His coming play a central role in biblical writings. As in the first two volumes, Willem J. Ouweneel examines this subject through the Bible and various Jewish sources, drawing on insights from Talmudic scholars and rabbinic commentaries. The third volume offers further exploration of one of the most important themes within the Jewish-Christian religious tradition.

Bible Study from Jewish and Christian Perspectives

What makes this trilogy distinctive is its combination of biblical study and Jewish religious traditions. Willem J. Ouweneel demonstrates how important biblical subjects can be approached from different perspectives. The three books offer valuable insights for anyone interested in the Jewish roots of Christianity, the meaning of the Torah, God's presence and the Messiah.

Supplementary Fourth Volume - Het volk van God

In addition to this trilogy, Willem J. Ouweneel wrote the supplementary fourth book Het volk van God. In this book, he examines the meaning of the term "people of God" and the relationship between Israel and the Christian Church. He also discusses important Jewish and Christian themes, including the mikveh, circumcision, Shabbat, baptism, being born again and spiritual growth. Het volk van God is available separately and makes a valuable addition to this three-volume series.

Who Is This Jewish-Christian Trilogy For?

It also offers extensive study material for Bible study groups, pastors, Bible teachers and readers interested in Judaism and the Bible. With a total of 884 pages, this three-volume collection provides a substantial resource for biblical and theological study.
