Jesus the Pharisee: A New Look at the Jewishness of Jesus by Harvey Falk. The book presents a vivid picture of the first century and its theological disputes. Falk looks at scriptures of Judiasm, Christianity and the Dead Sea Scrolls to convey the contemporary contraversies of that time. Stephen Pingha of the Peshitta Foundation in Jerusalem said "What isn't very clear to most people I think is the fact that there are two groups of Pharisees (Hillelites and Shammaites). As a child Yeshua attended a Hillel school in the [Nesarim] community in the Galil...I would recommend the book "Jesus the Pharisee" by Harvy Falk [Amazon] There are some "wild" ideas in that book but the Church agrees with some of the thoughts the author conveys (not all of them). There's also a reprinted article on the Nesarim's English site at [this link] that would be useful in looking into. The Pharisees mentioned in the Gospels are those that Yeshua Mshikha was opposed to, not so much the Hillel variety of Pharisees." {Click here for more information} - {Click here to read Chapter 1}
