Description
The Major Jewish Groups in the New Testament
When someone says he belongs to a certain group of people, such as the Conservative Party or the Lions Club, it is usually easy to identify with that person characteristics common to those associations. We would probably also recognise that he could belong to a number of groups without any serious conflict of interests.
This process of learning about people by their associations is also valid in our study of people who lived during Lord Jesus’ lifetime. This book will help you know them better!
Lord Jesus lived in a society that resembles our society nowadays!
He walked miles to the Samaritan woman, chose a Zealot as a disciple, healed the Canaanite woman, forgave the sins of Zacchaeus the Publican and ate in the house of Simon the Pharisee.
He accepted all.. He loved all..
And you too should do the same..

This is a 1-Star for numerous reasons. Firstly, the formatting & presentation is extremely convoluted with multiple fonts, overlays & pictures. This book resembles the typical pamphlets & books published by Mormons & JWs—very Anglo-American. Secondly, the author omitted key phrases of Lord Kristos, the Prophets, Apostles & Fathers of our Orthodox Faith in regard to the Jews during their respective eras. The “Jews” have only increased their hatred—yes, hatred, towards non-Jews, especially non-supporters (i.e. Christian Zionists) & those who question their history and intentions as Jewish claimants. The Rabbinical Sages & their students/followers are clear about Christianity and The Christian Savior: The Creator of All, by conjuring up fables, blasphemous rhetoric & repulsive propaganda not only pertaining to our Savior, but His Ever Virgin Mother, the Apostles, Martyrs, etc. Have we not read the expositions of St John Chrysostom, St Augustine, St Cyprian, St Hippolytus, Emperor Constantine and many others in regard to the practice of Those Who Identify Themselves as Jews? I would like to add that these folks and the same spirit that drives them were the dissenters of the School of Alexandria and haters of Saint Mark, Ss Athanasius & Cyril—to the point that they accused these Sacred Fathers as murderers, rapists & magicians. Besides this, those of the Jewish persuasion were the slave traders, masters & owners of mega corporations that enslaved Slavs, Africans, Indians & Asians—in the name of Catholicism, being crypto-Jews (Marranos). The list continues and so do they. This book seems like something commissioned by the U.N. & the Department of Ecumenism. I fear that Coptic Orthodox is already compromised by such propaganda, coming from the top. Our spirituality is founded by The Crucified, Risen and Ascended Lord, Who gave us His Faith by the shedding of His Holy Blood & That of the Martyrs—my review & opinion are not superfluous in the least.
