Publisher's summary

Biblical Christianity was originally a sect of Judaism that believed in Jesus and revered the Torah as the core of the scriptures. Restoration is a riveting argument for a return to that original biblical expression of faith in Jesus. Discover for yourself the profound beauty of Torah life, the celebration of the biblical Sabbath, and the application of God's holy feast days. Your eyes will be opened to another dimension of the faith that is beginning to reemerge among Christians worldwide. Lancaster answers common theological objections to the Torah, while demonstrating that Christians are already keeping more of God's Law than they realize. This thought provoking, theological boat-rocker is a fun-to-listen-to, inspiring journey into the world of the Bible.

Excellent! powerful, must-read for every believer

Would you consider the audio edition of Restoration to be better than the print version?

I really enjoyed the audio version of this book and definitely enjoyed this new tenth anniversary edition more than previous editions because the material is significantly expanded.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The things I have learned from this book, and other teaching materials by D. Thomas Lancaster, have enriched and strengthened my faith tremendously. My love for Messiah has grown so much deeper, and my life has been transformed for the better. Lancaster has a great way of taking complex concepts and breaking them down into ways that are easy to understand, while at the same time, surprising you with new understandings and insights you feel amazed you never saw before, even if you've read your Bible for years!

I really value the intellectual honesty Lancaster maintains throughout his teaching material. His scriptural and historical knowledge is enlightening. He truly is an amazing teacher!

Any additional comments?

I personally view this book with similar importance as C.S Lewis classic religious work "Mere Christianity". In that book, C.S. Lewis looked past the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations and presented fresh perspectives on the Christian faith with simple, powerfully rational logic. Similarly, in "Restoration", Lancaster looks past the traditional boundaries that divide Christianity and Torah observant Judaism (the faith Jesus lived out) and presents fresh perspectives on the Christian faith with simple, powerfully rational logic. The hidden beauty is that both authors use rational logic to effectively move hearts and minds, and bring people into closer relationship with God.

Regardless if you agree or disagree with Lancaster's theological convictions, he will challenge you and give you fresh perspectives on the Christian faith and the Torah. Highly recommend.

Really Bad

What would have made Restoration better?

Not being a rambling self serving opinion piece. I hate it when I read things that are based on a premise that every one else had it wrong throughout history except "the author" whose opinion has to be the only thing standing at the end of the day. The book took a long time to get going because the author was trying unsuccessfully to create his "bona fides" by giving his own personal family history.

Would you ever listen to anything by D. Thomas Lancaster again?

NO NO NO

How could the performance have been better?

He was a pretty good presenter - it was the material that was bad.

What character would you cut from Restoration?

The author

Any additional comments?

I was trying to tolerate this light weight tome till he turned anti Catholic and anti-Christian - I fundamentally agree with the necessity to tie the Torah with Christian practice - but how ??? if the author was genuine, he could have tied this in with specifics without trying to build the premise on his ego and his self serving negativity,

Thought Provoking Book!

I have listened to this book more times than I can count. This book challenged my thinking and opened my eyes to the truth in God's word. As a result, I have a stronger desire to seek after God and follow His ways than ever before. To me, he was clear on what he believes Scripture says and made some good arguments. I was in no way confused on his position and stance. The recording was good as well. I would highly recommend it.

A must read by ALL Christians

So, good. I try to re-read it every year. This year we read it as a group. Such wonderful discussions. Pertinent for all of us right now.

Loved this book

This information make a lot of sense. I’ve always felt that the Catholic Church (the Bala God worshipers) changed a lot of things in taking the Jewishness out of our worship. So happy to see the truth being revealed in these last days. Shalom

Prophetic

I like the way it included gentiles and Jews as one under God no different from each other and how the Bible states that we should all be celebrating worship on Saturday and all the feast and festivals the Bible was not just for the Jews it was for everyone amen shalom

Captivating Insights Into What The Church Has Lost

Would you consider the audio edition of Restoration to be better than the print version?

Yes - It's great to hear it read in the author's own voice!

Have you listened to any of D. Thomas Lancaster’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to D.T. Lancaster's teachings for many years. This is consistent and delivered with the same quality as everything else he has produced.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I particularly appreciated hearing the author's own journey of discovery that he articulates so well.

Any additional comments?

This book usually elicits a strong response from those who read it. You will either say, "Yes! This is what I've been missing in my faith!" or you will say, "I just can't swallow this." The concepts presented in Restoration are delivered in a simple, casual, but well articulated manner, yet they are profound truths that speak to the core of what it means to be a follower of Jesus, the Messiah of Israel. D.T. Lancaster works to do exactly as the title suggests, and restore the Torah to disciples of Jesus. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
