To the Ends of the Earth: How the First Jewish Followers of Yeshua Transformed the Ancient World

Synopsis

"What became of the first Jewish followers of Yeshua (Jesus)? This book examines the origin of the Yeshua movement and sets the record straight about how the appeal of Judaism and the message of the Messiah combined to transform the ancient pagan world. Readers may be surprised and intrigued to discover that Torah-observant Jewish believers in Yeshua and Gentile believers were actually more in concert than in conflict. There is another story than the one commonly heard about what we call Christian beginnings. The notion that the early Jewish followers of Yeshua disdained Judaism and went on to start a new religion, happily divested themselves of their Jewish heritage as soon as possible, needs to be reassessed. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the impact of these unified communities of Jewish and Gentile believers throughout the Mediterranean region in the periods now labeled as the Apostolic, sub-Apostolic, and post-Apostolic eras." The author's substantiates his facts and reflections from the writings of modern and ancient scholars. The author, Jeffrey Seif, Ph.D., . . . "is best known through his work at the teaching helm of the nationally-syndicated television program, "Zola Levitt Presents. He has also served as a professor of Jewish Studies at a number of academic institutions. Jeff studied at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, and subsequently took a master's degree and doctorate from Southern Methodist University, Dallas, in theology and ministry."
