 | Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith by Marvin R. Wilson
Buy new: $14.96 / Used from: $8.75 This book is held by many to be the de facto standard for the study of Hebrew Roots. It was not included in the Books for Distribution as I determined that it would be too long a read for a number of people in our group.

This is a primer for our study on first century Judaism as well as the parallel developmental paths of Judaism and Christianity.
