iscover the real Jesus — the Jewish rabbi, a strict follower of Torah tolerating no deviation from doctrine except to make its stipulations more exacting. In this book He is a man in full. A fierce shepherd, a passionate teacher of Torah — stripped of centuries of distortion and reclaimed in His first-century world.
In Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, M. T. Peterson invites readers into a fresh encounter with Jesus of Nazareth, grounded not in modern assumptions but in the nascent Judaism of the early first century. Drawing from recent archaeological discoveries, ancient texts, and Jewish tradition, Peterson restores Jesus to His rightful place as a Torah-observant Jew who taught justice, kindness, humility, and covenant loyalty — not as abstractions, but as urgent demands upon our lives.
Far from the sentimentalized figure of popular imagination, the Jesus revealed here is a dynamic, courageous, and demanding leader — a man who calls us not simply to believe, but to a radical faithfulness. Those who do not practice or comprehend His teachings are disdained. Set aside. Not allowed to learn at His feet.
This is not a book of controversy or novelty. It is a book of recovery — recovering Jesus’ voice, His message, and His Jewish identity for Christians, Jews, and all seekers who want to know Him as He truly was.
Whether you are a student of history, a follower of faith, or a thoughtful skeptic, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time will challenge and enrich your understanding of the most influential figure in human history.
Come and meet Him again — for the first time.
