Psalm 110: 1: The LORD said to ? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781387489824)

Al Garza makes a case for the Hebrew Adonai instead of Adoni in Psalm 110:1a. In this book, Dr. Garza draws upon Hebrew sources, Jewish sources, early church fathers, and ancient Semitic languages to provide an overview of all evidence that supports a straightforward reading of Adonai in Psalm 110:1a opening. This book is endorsed by well-known Semitic Scholar Dr. Michael Brown.

"According to Jewish tradition, if Psalm 110 refers to David, it was written by a court poet who referred to David, the king, as "my lord" (Hebrew adoni). According to a Christian reading of the text, as reflected in ancient Greek and Syriac manuscripts, the passage referred to Jesus the Messiah, with David referring to Him as "my Lord" (Hebrew adonai). Which tradition more accurately reflects the original Hebrew text? Which group, Jewish or Christian, changed the original vocalization to fit their own theology? In this clear and concise monograph, Dr. Al Garza makes the case for adonai, my Lord, being the original reading, thereby pointing clearly to the divinity of the Messiah. Is he right? Dig in for yourself, weigh the evidence carefully, and make an informed decision".-Dr. Michael L. Brown, author of the 5-volume series Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus.

Dr. Al Garza is an Associate Scholar graduate in the Linguistic Context of the Bible from Hebrew University's Institute of Biblical Studies. He is also certified in New Testament Jewish Studies, Hebrew Bible, and Jewish Culture and Context.
