A Jewish Sermon on the Mount

Exploring the Core Teachings of Jesus from a Hebraic Perspective

Jewish Sermon on the Mount provides a brief introduction to Matthew 5–7 using a new, Hebrew-based translation of the New Testament that allows English readers to see the Hebraisms of the Master’s teaching and the richness of the Hebrew words.
