The bedrock faith of Abraham is expressed in four fundamental precepts: (1) It has to be uncompromisingly monotheistic, as is mentioned in the “Shema” in Deuteronomy, in Jeremiah and in the Prophets. (2) It is oriented to the Law (Torah) and riveted to the Prophets. Torah is the experiment, and the Prophets are the commentary. (3) It is strongly covenantal: Israel will always be the Holy Land, and the Jewish People will always be the “Chosen People;” and, (4) It is radically Messianic: the promises of Isaiah, Ezekiel, and other Prophets are not empty promises, but will be fulfilled. Jesus believed all these pillars of faith, but, as the great Christian theologian Rudolf Bultmann said, “The proclaimer became the proclaimed.” Thus Jesus’ message became garbled as it was taken into a new religion.

In this compelling lecture, Dr. James Tabor expresses the Noahide yearning for the restoration of Abrahamic Faith.
