The Judaisms of Jesus’ Followers: An Introduction to Early Christianity in its Jewish Context by Dr. Juan Marcos Bejarano-Gutierrez (Yaron Publishing) (190 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

The Jewish sect which ascribed Jesus the title of Messiah was eventually transformed into a non-Jewish movement wholly separated from its Jewish context. The transformation was not instantaneous, and there were deviating or at the least parallel streams of Jesus supporters early on. A critical mistake which has been made, in my opinion, is the assumption that the Jesus movement was uniform even among its early Jewish followers. Analyzing the original movement(s) in the first centuries of the Common Era can reveal how the schism between Judaism and Christianity evolved. This book explores the fascinating world of Jewish life in the Second Temple Era and the Jewish groups that endorsed Jesus' messianic claims.

Prophets Rule: The Ages To Come by Joseph Dulmage (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

The ages to come are revealed in the writings of the prophets. Bible students study with earnest expectation to comprehend God's coming wonders. Scripture warns that no prophecy is of private interpretation; therefore, we pray God saves us from our own imaginations. Nevertheless, understanding prophecy is ever more important as we see the day approaching. Prophets Rule provides commentary on the nine Minor Prophets whose ministries took place prior to Judah's Babylonian captivity. Although these prophets wrote around 700-500 BC, major parts of their conversation concern future events surrounding the Day of the Lord: Tribulation, Jesus' Second Advent, and the Millennium. This makes the Minor Prophets extremely relevant for Christians today.
