SUGGESTION: Hidden Treasures: The First Century Jewish Way of Understanding the Scriptures by Joseph
This is a nice hermeneutics addition to the Messianic Judaism resources.
Amazon blurb: [quote]A traditional Jewish saying is that "the Torah has 70 faces." The question then arises of how an ordinary student of the Bible can view all these faces. In this easy-to-read, yet groundbreaking, book, Joseph Shulam explains how Judaism in late antiquity interpreted its sacred texts. Some of the concepts discussed include kal va-homer, midrash, hekkesh, and the four levels of Rabbinic interpretation. Besides explaining how these methods work, this book also gives examples of how the New Testament authors used them to create sacred texts in their own time. The second section of this book contains a series of articles on subjects relevant to the development of modern Messianic Judaism such as education, the formulation of halacha, and the necessary balance between grace and the observance of the Torah. This work will be a valuable asset to anyone who desires to deepen his understanding of the Jewish background of the Scriptures and the current issues facing contemporary Messianic Judaism.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

@Rick Mansfield (Logos) I spoke with Netivyah and they indicated they are agreeable to get their resources onto Logos. They want to increase their distribution outlets. You can reach the relevant contact by emailing their main email on the website. Not sure if I can post the exact person’s email on the forum.
