I want to give this book to EVERYONE. Luke presents theological arguments in a way that is not only incredibly organized and easy to break down, but delivers these topics in an entertaining manner. I not only learned a ton reading Reformation 2.0, but I enjoyed his cadence along the way. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the Biblical case for keeping God’s laws.

The best resource I have found so far to explain what and why Messianic Christians believe and how it differs from the mainstream church. Highly recommend but prepare to have some of your traditions challenged.

A thorough look at why believers in Christ should also take heed to and obey God's laws. Luke addresses many of the questions that come up when we are pursuing obedience to God's ways, and shares much Scripture in this book. Of course we must test all things, including this book, against Scripture, and I do think it's a good resource combined with a relationship with the Father and reading His Word/seeking Him for ourselves!

Have you read the Bible and find yourself scratching your head at the blatant contradictions between the Written Word and popular Christrian doctrine? This book aims to bridge the gap to such alleged contradictions and inherited presuppositions/traditions.

As an aside, I personally had to get used to the author's choice of formatting. I did note a couple of minor spelling/formatting errors, but that's just me being pedantic for the sake of the reality that this book may be handed to many cynical critics who seek to discredit a challenging view at any tiny error.

With that said, all Believers should test *all* things to Scripture (1 Thess. 5:21) & seek to get to the bottom of God's Truth (Proverbs 25:2) sans dogmatic baggage. This book does a fair job bringing popular Christian theological suppositions into light in a thoughtful way. A worthwhile read.

This book is phenomenal and addresses many contradictions that exist in many denominational theologies. It provides interpretation that logically connects the dots of Scripture, building on exegesis (critical explanation or interpretation of a text) rather than eisegesis (interpreting a text by reading one's own biases into the text).

While I disagreed with the conclusion of the author on circumcision and the future purpose of the Levitical priesthood, which I understood the author to say it would be more figurative rather than practical (I may have misunderstood the author's position), the rest of the author's presentation and case was solid.

Well worth the read!

(Reader beware: it might challenge long held beliefs and traditions)

Luke does an excellent job explaining why all believers should be following all the commands of God. He clearly explains the misinterpretations of scripture and influence from Rome that have led to erroneous doctrines of the Christian church.
