Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed examination of the historical origins of Christianity, and its relationship to Judaism, the faith from which it sprung. The author delves into the popular religious beliefs of the ancient world to shed light on both the continuity and the differences between the two religions. The book also provides an in-depth analysis of the key figures of Jesus and Paul, with a particular focus on their religious claims and the development of their respective theologies.
