Hebraic Literature
Hebrew Roots – Judaism by
Maurice Harris
Hebraic Literature;What is the Talmud? There is more than one answer. Ostensibly it is the corpus juris of the Jews from about the first century before the Christian era to about the fourth after it. But we shall see as we proceed that the Talmud was much more than this. The very word “Law” in Hebrew—”Torah”—means more than its translation would imply. The Jew interpreted his whole religion in terms of law. It is his name in fact for the Bible’s first five books—the Pentateuch.
Our Lost Legacy
Christianity’s Hebrew Heritage by
Dr.John Carr
For the past nineteen centuries, millions of believers have been denied their biblical legacy, the riches of the Hebrew foundations of their Christian faith. Christian Judaeophobia, anti-Judaism, and anti-Semitism have conspired to rob them of the treasures of their inheritance. Our Lost Legacy presents selected essays and lectures that urge the church to recover its Hebraic heritage, its connection with the Jewish matrix from which it was produced. These pages call Christians back to the Bible, to the roots of faith that enrich lives and equip believers to achieve greater maturity through a more complete knowledge of Jesus, the church’s Hebrew Lord.
Hebraic Roots
Church Jewish Roots by
Ken Harrison
Hebraic Roots was written to outline the path to establish the true Biblical roots of our faith. The information contained herein is readily documented historically. The conclusions drawn are not based on obscure interpretations of the Scriptures or of history. They flow quite readily from the simple information available to us. The steps outlined have been tested in a local church setting and have been found to provide a great opportunity of witness both in the Jewish and Gentile communities. In other words, the steps outlined here work.
Jewish Roots of Christianity
Church Hebraic Origins by
Jefferey Harrison
Description Learn (#1) how Christianity rejected the Jews, Jewish Christians, and its own Jewish roots, (#2) how this rejection led it far away from God’s plan and purpose, and (#3) how God is pointing the way back home in our generation. We have to look back into the history of Christianity, but not the kind of Church history most of us are familiar with. There is a dark side to Church history that most people know nothing about: a history of hatred, persecution, and rejection of the Jews, of Jewish Christians, and of Christianity’s Jewish roots. This is a hidden history that every Christian needs to know. And God has chosen this generation to hear this message and to act on it.
Nazarene Israel
Original Faith of Apostles by
Yosef ben Ruach
Scripture and the words of the Church Fathers) that the original faith of the Apostles was not called Christianity; but that it was called Nazarene Israel? And what if this new study showed that the original Nazarene Israelite faith differed from today’s Western Gentile Christianity in several vital respects?
Is Judaism the Religion of Moses?
Early Church Roots by
Ernest Martinh
Judaism was not one unified organization. Actually, there were many religious sects comprising it. And, even within some of these major sects there were many “splinter” groups which had their own ideas and beliefs. In many respects, the Judaism of Christ’s time was not unlike our own world. We have many competitive sects representing “Christianity.” So likewise, the Jews had their divisions, differing sects representing “Judaism.”
