The book, based on extensive, newly read and comprehended material from the texts of the New Testament, as well as other monuments of “ante-Nicene” Christianity, explores the commitment of Christians of apostolic times to the spirit and letter of the books of the Torah and the Prophets. The faithfulness of the apostles and their followers to the teaching of the Mosaic Law, interpreted in the New Testament spirit of love for God and neighbor, can be traced. In contrast to the widespread opinion about the “break” of the early Church with the ancient Jewish tradition of teaching and life, the faithfulness of this Church to its Jewish roots is proven. For a wide range of readers.
