[elbren · Rating 4 out of 5]

Explorations on faith and practice along the Jewish-Christian Continuum, during the time when both rabbinic Judaism and orthodox Christianity were defining ourselves. I'd've preferred more archeology, and some examination of the Ethiopian evidence (having its Christian foundations in late antiquity, and being the most "Jewish" of the extant Christian traditions), but well worth reading anyway.

[Jon Krohn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the interplay between the development of rabbinical Judaism and patristics.
