Jesus The Jewish Theologian by Dr. Brad Young
Personal note from Emily: Dr. Young was one of the most influential teachers I had while in seminary. He is one of the leading experts on the Jewish roots of Christianity, and he has written several books on this topic. It was in his classes that I became enthralled with the rich history of our faith. And while we neglected to name him specifically in our podcast, it was his writings and teaching that informed many of our ideas and conclusions. I highly recommend his work to anyone who wants to dig deeper as they are academically sound, well-researched, and documented, but also are written to be accessible to lay person.
