Book Synopsis Judaism and Christian Beginnings by : Samuel Sandmel
Book excerpt: In this book, Samuel Sandmel traces the history, institutions and ideas of Judaism from 200 B.C. to 175 A.D. Drawing on sources ranging from the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, the Rabbinic literature, the histories of Josephus, and the Qumran scrolls to the Epistles of Paul, the Gospels and, the Acts of the Apostles, he documents the growth of Synagogue Judaism and its influence on the early Christian Church.
