As a Jew and a follower of Yeshua, Dr. Richard A. Elofer expertly navigates the intersection of Jewish and Adventist approaches, and shows the vital ways in which Jewish thought and practice still speak to matters of faith today. He knows the life-giving power of words. After all, Genesis tells how at Creation God spoke the world into existence. TheTorah constantly reminds us of the crucial importance of remembering God's words. In Isaiah God makes a covenant with His people: "My Spirit that is upon you, and My words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children's offspring., .from this time forth and forevermore" (Isaiah 59:21 ESV).
