{"product_id":"semitic-christianity-eli-lizorkin-eyzenberg-9781514603970","title":"Semitic Christianity: St. Aphrahat \u0026 The Sages of Babylonian Talmud","description":"This is a reading for serious students of Church and Jewish history. It is based on my Ph.D. dissertation at Stellenbosch University on the history of Jewish-Christian polemics. There I reconstruct the fourth-century polemic between sages of the Babylonian Talmud and a local Semitic Christian community. In this work, I compare what St. Aphrahat (who writes in the language of the Babylonian Talmud) with what Jewish sages had to say concerning 5 key topics (circumcision, prayer, Passover, kashrut and fasting). Regarding the nature of Aphrahat's encounters with the Jews, this book provides a set of additional or secondary conclusions that concern a variety of topics such as the nature of Jewish missions to (Jewish) Christians and Aphrahat's treatment of the Christian Pascha\/Passover in relationship to the idea of the Christian Sabbath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1514603977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514603970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.36d","brand":"Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071125516543,"sku":"9781514603970","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1932f7ac-7e37-49ff-ac23-467ec1d784c4.jpg?v=1685434299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/semitic-christianity-eli-lizorkin-eyzenberg-9781514603970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
