Daniel Juster
Sam Nadler has written a worthy summary of the theology of Messianic Judaism. It includes new insights for reflecting, especially on the fullness of the Gentiles in Romans 11 and its connection to witness to Israel. His analysis of the New Covenant as really new is very convincing. The book represents the mainstream of the Messianic Jewish Movement in America. I am happy to recommend this book. -Daniel Juster, Th. D., First President of the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations; Director, Tikkun Ministries; and author of Jewish Roots, Growing to Maturity; and other books.
Seth David
In Messianic Foundations, Sam Nadler articulates a thoroughly biblical, theological, and practical vision for New Covenant Messianic Judaism. He not only exegetes key biblical passages relevant to the Mosaic and New Covenants, he also incorporates material from the rabbinic writings and the church fathers. While amiably and respectfully interacting with those who advocate a Renewed Covenant, Sam lays out the biblical (Tanakh and New Testament) evidence for the ratification of a New Covenant. Yet, he calls for a Messianic Jewish life style that is engaged with Sinai, sensitive to the historical, traditional, and theological values of our people—and he does so all through the lens of the New Covenant. A must read for scholar and layman alike. Well done, Sam! -Seth David, PhD in Biblical Studies (Tanakh), Professor of Old Testament at Israel College of the Bible

Dear Sam, I have just completed reading your new book, Messianic Foundations. Over four decades, I have read many books about our Messianic movement and the Jewish people. Here in one easy to read hand book, you have provided many answers of interest for observers and those actively engaged in Jewish evangelism and Messianic congregations. Of particular interest was your treatment of the profound meaning in being either a Jew or a Gentile. Each believer has an equally holy purpose. Your explanation about the Torah (Law) and faith is quite excellent. It will clear up a lot of confusion. The concepts about the “Fullness of the Gentiles” and the “Commonwealth of Israel” offer a wise understanding of our role in God’s plan in our generation. Also, the use of analogies e.g. modern science, baseball, trees of the field, crisply make your points memorable. I’ll be heartily recommending your book. -Paul Liberman, Publisher, Messianic Times, author of Fig Tree Blossoms.

"Messianic Foundations is a masterfully written presentation of evangelical truth from a Jewish perspective. The resurrection of the Messianic Jewish community in our day has provoked much discussion among followers of Yeshua. Sam Nadler has made a necessary contribution to this ever growing and vitally important topic." -Marty Waldman, Rabbi of Baruch HaShem, Dallas, TX

"Sam, thank you for writing the book... I intend to use it in our congregation." Rabbi Howard Silverman, Beth Messiah Congregation, Columbus, Ohio, Past President, Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations
Steve Weiler
"Messianic Foundations written by Rabbi Sam Nadler is a must read. It brings clarity to both simple and challenging issues of our faith that are foundational. Sam dissects these issues and brings biblical details to light so readers will be able to strengthen the understanding of their faith. This book is an easy and enjoyable read, but don’t allow that to cause you to take it lightly. “Messianic Foundations” will help everyone better understand the basics of our faith, and yet put much “meat” to that understanding. I will ask everyone in my congregations to read this book. Thank you Sam – I loved it" - Steve Weiler, Senior Rabbi, Shoresh David Messianic Synagogues, Tampa, Lakeland, Wesley Chapel FL, Secretary of the MJAA Executive Committee

The Messianic Foundations by Sam Nadler is an interesting and important book for Jewish and Gentile believers regarding salvation for the Jewish people, role of the Gentiles in God’s plan with the Jewish people, and the role of the Torah for the believers today. This book is written simply enough for any believer to understand, while being able to challenge an advanced believer. The book gives the Bible the ultimate priority in interpretation, cites many appropriate biblical passages and can serve as a thematic concordance for the discussed subjects. -Vladimir Pikman, Congregational Leader of Beit Sar Shalom
