WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? 

Many today treat Judaism and Christianity as completely separate religions. Yet the reality is that they share a central truth: there is one God and His Messiah is of the Jews. This deep yet accessible volume examines the historical prophecies and claims about Messiah. It offers compelling evidence that Jesus of Nazareth fulfills the qualifications foretold in the Jewish Scriptures. Join Dr. William Varner as your guide in this captivating look at Jesus the Jewish Messiah. 

Endorsements

"In this book, Will Varner has opened the Scripture to provide a readable and clarifying look at Jesus, the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world. Jesus once asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” (Mark 8:27). That is still the most urgent question: Who is this Jesus? You will find the answer powerfully and convincingly provided in this outstanding book."

John MacArthur, former Pastor of Grace Community Church and President of the Master’s University and Seminary

"In Jesus the Jewish Messiah, Dr. Varner combines careful exposition with understandable language to explain how the prophets foretold the Messiah and the way Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled their predictions. This excellent book will help confirm your faith in the Lord Jesus and enhance your appreciation of the supernatural character of God’s Word, the Bible. Read it and keep it nearby as a resource you can use again and again."

Dr. Michael Rydelnik, Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible, Moody Bible Institute, Bible Teacher/Host, Moody Radio

"In Jesus the Jewish Messiah, William Varner unfolds the story of Scripture with clarity and conviction, showing how every promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus. Rich in biblical insight yet written with accessibility, this book will strengthen the faith of believers and invite seekers to consider the Messiah afresh. It is both scholarly and devotional, a resource that points the mind to truth and the heart to worship."

Jacy Armbruster, Pastor, CC Eastside, Bellevue, WA
