Summary: A Must Read
Comment: This book is both beautifully written and extremely insightful. For Christians, it presents ideas that are refreshing; you're not likely to think of God in quite the same way again. For Jews, the book offers insights into the "Jewishness" of Christianity, as well.
Highly recommended.

Summary: WOW!
Comment: Athol Dickson has a way with words and questions that within a few pages of this book will leave you speechless. He knows how to get to the heart of issues that have been argued and avoided by Christians for centuries. From the beginning Dickson is honest with the reader. He also clarifies that this text is written from a Christian perspective, and tackles subjects and gives perspectives that are hotly debated in both Christian and Jewish camps. The author also admits that this text has been read and reread to avoid any misrepresentation of the Jewish culture, and that he in no way is trying to proselytize.
In reality, this book does three things: it brings to life the culture and perspective of Jews of Christians and Jesus, it creates links from the Old testament to New testament (from the Ancient Jewish faith to the "New Covenant" - Christianity), and it unpacks some of the most difficult questions Christians never ask, because they may be afraid of the answers. What is so wonderful about this author is that the amount of time and knowledge is evident. Great care and detail have gone into each explanation, yet the narrative is such that you feel like you are on a journey with him as he engages with people at Chever Torah.
A word of caution. This book is not a light read; it certainly is no Max Lucado for the soul. If you are not prepared to have your mind stretched, about half way through your eyes will not keep up with your brain. Athol will unreservedly question, unashamedly challenge, and tactfully answer some wonderful and difficult to understand topics. Read cautiously, and with an open heart and mind. If you are like me, in the end you will see more things that need adjusted than you previously thought.
This book will be a resource for me for years to come. Thanks Athol! Your work is very evident and is greatly appreciated.

Summary: This is a book that makes one think!
Comment: As one who has spent many countless hours delving through very profound books on Theology and the Holy Scriptures in an attempt to better know God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, I frequently become rather complacent in my faith. But this complacency does not mask questions in my mind that I can't seem to put to rest. I have turned to books that propose to answer these FAQs but I have found some of the explanations rather favoring a particular denominational approach or at least non convincing. I recently read Athol Dickson's "The Gospel According to Moses." It makes no claims as to answering these questions that I have. BUT somehow it does provide the explanations that I seek to several of my questions. The author's thinking is so very logical, so profound and so in line with most of my evangelical views. I learned so much from this book.It made me think, question and wrestle with religious concepts as I have never done before. His most perceptive and most Biblical view on "Why Bad things happen to Good People" is just one example of a very thought provoking and assuring discussion held on one of these questions. This book tends to bring one to the conclusion that the evangelical Christians and our Jewish brothers and sisters are truly akin in many of our beliefs. Although differences do occur, Dickson quietly seems to call us to celibrate that which binds us NOT what rends us assunder. This is not an easy read BUT it is one of the most thought provoking, assuring works that I have ever read. I would strongly recommend this book to all.
