A Special Weekly Deep Dive - The Parting of the Ways
How the Early Church Became Distinct from Its Jewish Foundations
Hi Friends,
Today I’m sharing a special, deep dive that our Founders had early access to: “The Parting of the Ways: How the Early Church Became Distinct from Its Jewish Foundations.” If you’ve ever wondered how we got from the synagogue to the steeple, or what was gained (and lost) along the way, this study is for you.
And to bring even more wisdom to the table, I’m thrilled to share a video interview with Dr. Jennifer Rosner. Jen is the author of several books, a respected voice in both the Messianic Jewish community and the world of scholarship, and one of my professors at the Messianic Jewish Theological Institute. You’ll love her insight, clarity, and passion for building bridges between communities.
Read the study, watch the interview below, then jump into the study questions, reflection prompts, and action challenges!
Let’s dig deep and discover what God has for us at the crossroads of history and hope.
