There seems to be an encouraging groundswell of dialog and interaction happening between Christians and Jews nationally, internationally and locally. This book is square one for me as a Christian. Of benefit is the scholarship of the author Marvin Wilson and the format of presentation and his study questions at the end of each section. I have a much deeper appreciation now for the roots of Christianity and the interdependency we share through our histories.
I bought this book because of my interest in early Church history and it's Jewish heritage. This is a wonderful, informative book on the subject. Full of names and dates from recorded history, the Old and New Testaments come together to show that Christianity has strong rich Hebrew heritage. Also discussed are the unfortunate events which led up to Christians and Jews severing ties. Marvin Wilson shows why Christians need to reexamine their roots and what can be done to restore broken ties. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Jewish roots of the Christian faith.
I haven't had a chance to read it yet but it was highly recommended from someone who's done a boatload of research. Looking forward to getting to read it. My yes reviews above are based on the other person's opinion.

This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn the origins and foundation of Christian or Jewish faith. This book is well written and easy to understand. It is extremely informative and has test questions at the end of every chapter to help the reader fully understand and comprehend what is being taught. Our Father Abraham is the cornerstone of Christian, Judaic and even Muslim faith. This book helps to give a better understanding of our begins. I highly recommend it.
Our messiah was Jewish. There is no way to truly understand the cultural context of the time and Jewish customs referenced in our bible without studying . This is a great place to start.
