In this book, Dr. Eitan Bar goes beyond his personal experiences and uses extensive research to investigate the historical, theological, cultural, and psychological factors that inhibit Jews from accepting Jesus Christ as their Messiah. He examines how Judaism, initially boring Christianity, evolved into a faith that contradicts and is hostile to Christianity.

Written 20 years later under the pressure of crushing debt, The Gambler is a stunning psychological portrait of a young man's exhilarating and destructive addiction.
