Description:What if the Jesus you were taught isn’t the one who spoke? For centuries, Christianity has claimed to follow Jesus. Yet the real Jewish teacher from Galilee—the Aramaic-speaking healer who challenged power and replaced fear with love—has been buried beneath layers of translation and tradition. Our Teacher by David Ben Levi uncovers how key words in Hebrew and Greek were altered through centuries of interpretation. When aionios was translated as aeternum, for instance, an entire worldview shifted—from an age of correction to the idea of endless punishment. The doctrine of eternal conscious torment, absent from Jesus’ own teachings, became central to Christian faith. Through historical insight and linguistic clarity, Our Teacher shows how mistranslation transformed the gospel of love into a theology of fear—and how reclaiming Jesus’ original meaning can renew both understanding and belief. This book does not seek to destroy faith but to restore it to its roots: a faith grounded in compassion, justice, and hope. Readers will rediscover Jesus as a Jewish rabbi whose words carried such truth and beauty that they reshaped the world. For believers, seekers, and skeptics alike, Our Teacher offers a bold invitation to listen again—to hear the voice of Jesus as it was first spoken, and to recover the message that still has the power to heal the human heart.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
