The book Torah Rediscovered was a basic and simple guide to looking at the scriptures through the eyes of the Torah and the Prophets. It gave a good analysis of how the Torah and the prophets related to the believer both Jew and Gentile. Torah is seen as a "protective hedge" (Eccl:10:8: He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.) that keeps the follower safe from harm and from "curses" in their life such as poverty and sickness on the individual level and popular troubles on the national scale (Deuteronomy 7). Torah Rediscovered gave some interesting exegesis on Galatians and Romans, two passages that were traditionally interpreted in ways that would seem to make Torah itself irrelevant to the none-Jew. The book also explained how the Torah observant society would be a place of safety and refuge even for those who did not seek to live out its ways in their personal lives. Torah rediscovered is also a text that the MBI Yeshiva uses for one of its classes. I enjoyed the book and found it very helpful in solidifying some ideas I already had related to seeming contradictions in the writings of Paul and the sayings of the MESSIAH and the Tanach / Old Testament. I would encourage anyone to get this book and see how the NT scriptures can be reconciled more easily than protestant denominationalism has taught or practiced.
