"We are all about promoting peace and unity, especially across racial lines. Rob has put together a fascinating historical expedition that challenges a common notion about early Jewish-Christian relations . . . this book has a timely message and some important things to say about Jewish-Christian unity." —Dr. Ed Smith, President, Williamson College Sadly, anti-Semitism is on the rise across the globe. Sadder still, some of it comes from Christians. How is it that some who follow Jesus—the Jewish Messiah promised in the Hebrew Bible—could come to regard the Jewish people with prejudice and hostility? Could there be a historical or biblical root beneath this sentiment? In Divergence, R. L. Solberg traces the evolution of Jewish-Christian relations through the early centuries of the Christian faith. He begins by establishing a New Testament baseline on how Christians are to treat their Jewish brothers and sisters. Then Solberg tracks Christian theology and attitudes toward the Jewish people from the New Testament through the writings of the early Church Fathers to the council of Nicaea in AD 325. Was there anti-Semitism as we know it today? Was the theology of the New Testament corrupted because of anti-Jewish sentiment? Did the Council of Nicaea exchange the Saturday Sabbath for Sunday worship and Passover for Easter? This fascinating historical expedition reveals that all was not as you might think.
