Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus (Vol 5): Traditional Jewish Objections Book

Michael L Brown (Author)

In the fifth and final volume of this highly-acclaimed series, Dr. Brown provides a comprehensive refutation of the traditional Jewish concept that there is a binding, authoritative Oral Law going back to Moses.

While showing great respect for his people's traditions, Brown dispels the idea that only traditional Jews can rightly understand the Hebrew Scriptures. He demonstrates that the written Word alone carries absolute authority, and when there is a conflict between the Bible and tradition, Jews are called to follow the Bible.

This study will revolutionize the lives of both Jewish and Christian readers.

Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus--and Why It Matters Today Book

Christian Antisemitism: Confronting the Lies in Today's Church Book

Hate isn’t a thing from history...

Denis Alexander (Author) & Alister McGrath (Author)

The book "Coming to Faith Through Dawkins," edited by Denis Alexander and Alister McGrath, explores the surprising journeys of twelve individuals who converted to Christianity.
