The Tri-Unity of God Is Jewish (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991215188)

Is there any common ground between the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament when it comes to understanding the nature of God as plural, yet a unity? Author John B. Metzger is well aware that on one hand, the Jewish people have little historical and theological incentive to personally investigate the Christian "Jesus"; and on the other hand, Christians lack clear perception that God's program for reaching the world is through the Jewish people. Judaism completely rejects with every ounce of strength the whole idea that God is a plurality and that the Messiah could be God. I also know that few Christians appreciate the evangelistic possibilities that would quite naturally open up if God's Oneness and plurality (tri-unity) could be proven from the Hebrew Scriptures alone, without the aid of the New Testament. Therefore, I engaged in a two-year study of the primary question, "Does the Old Testament clearly teach both monotheism and plurality, or is that combination found only in the New Testament? This volume is an extension of my findings regarding that intensely-researched question.
