This is actually the title of an exceptional book that I think EVERY Christian should read.
In order to truly understand Jesus and what He taught, we must understand something of Judaism. Also, we must try to learn what interpretation Jesus and His followers had on Jewish Law and the Prophets. Jesus' favorite Prophet seems to have been Isaiah, which is interesting, because Isaiah is also the Prophet most revered by the Essenes (perhaps the most radical of the five major sects of Judaism).
Anyhow, Jesus is rightfully known as the Prince of Peace; the Benign One; the Harmless One; and the Teacher of Righteousness. I feel like modern-day christianity has lost much of, if not all of, Jesus' message.
