Book Description
Excerpt from Redemption in Israel: Or Narratives of Conversions Among the Jews It may seem unnecessary to add, that every narrative is true: some have been taken from the Jewish Records, 8w. One or two from sources not generally accessible; that 'of Elinser Samuel Isaac, from the Periodical Accounts of the United Brethren, Vol. XV. The memoir of M. Capadose is so well known as to render it perhaps doubtful how far it Should have been admitted; its admission however, every reader will, it is hoped, forgive, for the sake of its interest. There has been a constant endeavour through all the memoirs, in the relation Of every circumstance, to conform to the exact fact.

Book Description
A groundbreaking new portrait of the apostle Paul, from one of today’s leading historians of antiquity Often seen as the author of timeless Christian theology, Paul himself heatedly maintained that he lived and worked in history’s closing hours. His letters propel his readers into two ancient worlds, one Jewish, one pagan. The first was incandescent with apocalyptic hopes, expecting God through his messiah to fulfill his ancient promises of redemption to Israel. The second teemed with ancient actors, not only human but also divine: angry superhuman forces, jealous demons, and hostile cosmic gods. Both worlds are Paul’s, and his convictions about the first shaped his actions in the second. Only by situating Paul within this charged social context of gods and humans, pagans and Jews, cities, synagogues, and competing Christ-following assemblies can we begin to understand his mission and message. This original and provocative book offers a dramatically new perspective on one of history’s seminal figures.
