Introduction to Sacramental Liturgies
These include instructions for performing our Liturgical Mass and other Liturgical Operations, including the Shabat Seder.
Using the Hebrew Bible as a primary source, this work assists readers in distinguishing between the historical Israel that produced the Bible and the idealized Israel presented in the Bible.
The Other Bible gathers in one comprehensive volume ancient, esoteric holy texts from Judeo–Christian tradition that were excluded from the official canon of the Old and New Testaments, including the Gnostic Gospels, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Kabbalah, and several more.
This edition of Bart Ehrman's highly successful introduction approaches the New Testament from a consistently historical and comparative perspective, emphasizing the rich diversity of the earliest Christian literature.
