Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the shift from the cloistered, nation-specific religion of Judaism to the universal faith of Christianity. The author contends that this transition was motivated not by a wholesale rejection of the Jewish faith, but rather by the belief among early Christians that God had established a new covenant through Jesus. This new covenant was believed to supersede the Mosaic code, opening up the highest privileges of the Jewish religion to uncircumcised Gentiles on the same terms as the Jews themselves. The author argues that this recognition of the equality of Jewish and Gentile believers was not forced upon the Church by the example of others, but rather sprang from the Apostles' belief that they had supernatural authority to establish a new era in the relationship between God and humanity. Through an examination of the social, religious, and historical landscape of the time, this book sheds light on the complex interplay of tradition, revelation, and the evolution of religious belief. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of Christianity and the origins of its universal message.
