Sacrifices from a Messianic Jewish PerspectiveHe offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:12).Get ready to relearn everything you thought you knew about the sacrificial system. Replacement theology teaches that the death and resurrection of Jesus canceled the Levitical sacrifices, but this assumption raises some serious problems. Torah Club author D. Thomas Lancaster takes us into Leviticus, Hebrews, the Messianic Era, and the World to Come to reconcile the seeming contradictions between old and new. Lancaster unpacks apostolic teaching about the Temple, the sacrificial system, and their place in the new covenant. Surprising, paradigm-shifting answers to difficult questions: What were the animal sacrifices for? Why did the apostles continue to offer sacrifices after the resurrection? Why do the prophets predict a return to the sacrifices in the future? Why dont we bring sacrifices today?Sacrifices also answers anti-missionary objections about the sacrifice of Messiah from a traditional Jewish perspective. It is a whole new approach to understanding the Levitical worship of the Bible!This new revised edition contains an additional chapter titled Spiritual Sacrifices.
