Description

In this provacative and comprehensive study, Claudia J. Setzer argues persuasively that Jews saw the early followers of Jesus as Jews for some time after the Christians viewed themselves as separate from the larger Jewish communities. This book provides historical context and nuanced exegesis of texts that continue to be "trouble spots" in Jewish-Christian relations. It illuminates the diverse strands of early anti- Judaism while providing the reader with some surprises. -- Christianbook.com.
