Judaic Christian Studies

Because the Hebrew Scriptures were considered God-breathed, study was seen as a high form of worship that honored God (who delights in obedience more than sacrifices) and that prospered and strengthened the student (cf. Joshua 1.8).

Talmud Torah, the study of God’s word, formed the distinctive religious basis of all Jewish life. Study-leading-to-obedience was an act of devotion that engaged the whole person not just the intellect.

Unlike the Greeks, who studied to comprehend, the Hebrews studied to revere, as A. J. Heschel has noted. “Jewish learning was more than a holy pursuit, it was a pursuit of the Holy.

–Dr. Dwight Pryor, The Center for Judaic Christian Studies

For several years I have been blessed by Dr. Dwight Pryor‘s anointed teachings. I have downloaded dozens of his teachings to my MP3 and have listened to each several times. What a treasure! I have listened to some of the studies a dozen times and I never tire of them. The wise and scholarly information is presented with passion in an easy-to-understand format. Dwight digs deep into God’s Word shedding the light of the Hebraic roots of our Christian faith.

I encourage anyone interested in a more intimate walk with our Lord and an interest in our Hebrew roots to utilize the B-A-L-A-N-C-E-D materials from JC Studies and teach them to your children. Start with the links here and then visit the JC Studies Store for more excellent materials.
