A portable God : the origin of Judaism and Christianity

Risa Levitt Kohn (Author), Rebecca Moore (Author)
Shows that both Judaism and Christianity emerge from the same religious tradition - that of ancient Israel - at the same time. By telling the common story of Jewish and Christian origins, this work shows Jews and Christians as siblings showing that the similarities between Judaism and Christianity far outweigh their differences.
