The Judaisms of Jesus’ Followers: An Introduction to Early Christianity in Its Jewish Context by Dr. Juan Marcos Bejarano-Gutierrez examines the Jewish roots of early Christianity and the diverse ways Jewish followers of Jesus engaged with his teachings. The book challenges the assumption of uniformity in the early Jesus movement, instead presenting a nuanced picture of multiple "Judaisms" among his followers.
Dr. Bejarano-Gutierrez addresses key questions about the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, exploring the schisms and continuities between these traditions. He investigates how early Jewish followers of Jesus balanced their messianic beliefs with Jewish identity and practices, including temple worship and the role of figures like James, the brother of Jesus.
This work is valuable for readers interested in the historical and religious dynamics of the first-century Jewish and Christian worlds. It's available through major retailers and offers both academic and accessible insights into this complex history.
