This important work engages with a long historical debate: were the earliest Christians under the direction of ordained ministers, or under the influence of inspired laypeople? Who was in charge: bishops, elders and deacons, or apostles, prophets and teachers? Rather than trace Church offices backwards, Burtchaell examines the contemporary Jewish communities and finds evidence that Christians simply continued the offices of the synagogue. Thus, he asserts that from the very first they were presided over by officers. The author then advances the provocative view that in the first century it was not the officers who spoke with the most authority. They presided, but did not lead, and deferred to more charismatic laypeople. Burtchaell sees the evidence in favor of the Catholic/Orthodox/Anglican view that bishops have always presided in the Christian Church. At the same time he argues alongside the Prostestants that in its formative era the Church deferred most to the judgment of those who were inspired, yet never ordained.

The designs of synagogues and churches are acknowledged to be very alike. But the designers' procedure was confidential, and so far standard explanations have been unsatisfactory. A synagogue should express heavenly values with earthly materials. This combination was in fact expressed in numbers, for, as Plato said, they linked heaven and earth. Scripture described both the Jewish Tabernacle and Temple with a wealth of numbers. Proportions based on these numbers were used to design synagogues. Only a few Jewish documents survive, but they reveal a symbolism, which Christians sometimes repeat. The synagogue sanctuary was designed to contain the 'Holy Ark', and the mosaic floors reveal the point 'Before the Ark' for the prayers and readings. These places faced each other, with the idea that God was facing his people. The synagogue was seen as facing heaven and in church buildings Christians repeated the same proportions. This was a joint tradition among Jews and Christians. It was easy to design, was carried out secretly and accurately, and - without a computer - was extremely hard to unravel. This book, for the first time, does just that.

Present-day Jews and Christians look back to the literary traditions originating in the first seven centuries c.e. for information about how their ancestors lived and worshiped. But these ancestors left a wealth of nonliterary sources that reveal much. Archaeology can provide us with a new way of understanding the most important elements of our religious traditions. Hundreds of ancient synagogues and churches have been excavated in Palestine. Most follow the Greco-Roman basilica as the basic architectural form. This book examines the adaptations made of this basic form because of the different patterns of worship in Judaism and Christianity. Also, the variations in the basilica show the desire of individual communities to differentiate themselves from their neighbors. The difficult question of the origins of the synagogue as an architectural form is also addressed. Most of the sites discussed have been excavated in the last twenty years and many can be visited. Some of the churches continue to function as places of worship. The number, size, and ornamentation of ancient synagogues and churches in Palestine show the strength and vitality of both Judaism and Christianity in the Roman and Byzantine periods.

The Jewish Origins of Christianity and the Separation of Church and Synagogue discusses the political reasons why the Church and the synagogue separated: the death of an emperor; an empire-wide Roman civil war with 4 generals and 4 armies fighting for the emperor's crown; a right-wing Jewish group causing the cessation of sacrifices in the temple for gentiles; an inept Roman governor; a Jewish group carrying out assassinations; an attempt at reinstating sacrifices by the Romans that backfired; the ambitions of Roman generals to become emperor by destroying Jerusalem and the Temple, instituting a Roman policy of repression and persecution of Jews—which caused 2 more revolts and the rise of warlike messiah figures—how the expulsion of Jews from Rome caused a change in the attitude of Christians; how Christians sought the favor of Rome and joined the persecution of Jews; how this became theology; how Paul was immersed in the Jewish literature of his day and how his Jewish connection was erased by interpreting the Bible in a Platonic fashion; how Paul never left Judaism; how Paul's vision of Jew-and-gentile unity in the church was destroyed; how the Jerusalem church didn't disappear in the ashes of Jerusalem, but survived near the end of the 2nd century; how Jewish Christianity survived until the 7th century. The book discusses manuscript discoveries such as the Dead Sea Scrolls that have enabled scholars to recover the Jewish background of Paul and Jesus, and the new efforts of scholars to understand what Paul really said. It is a concise summary of 12 years of research, 300 years of publications, and thousands of pages of scholarship into a thoroughly documented and readable text of approximately 50 pages. The The Jewish Origins of Christianity and the Separation of Church and Synagogue tells the true story of what really happened that the church hasn't been told for 2,000 years with complete and thorough documentation, and an extensive 15-page Bibliography.

Ancient Synagogues - Archaeology and Art. New Discoveries and Current Research presents archaeological evidence - the architecture, art, Jewish symbols, zodiac, biblical tales, inscriptions, and coins – which attest to the importance of the synagogue. When considered as a whole, all these pieces of evidence confirm the centrality of the synagogue institution in the life of the Jewish communities all through Israel and in the Diaspora. Most importantly, the synagogue and its art and architecture played a powerful role in the preservation of the fundamental beliefs, customs, and traditions of the Jewish people following the destruction of the Second Temple and the loss of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel. The book also includes a supplement of the report on the Qazion excavation.

Lots of churches around the world are struggling to survive. Maybe instead they should follow Jesus into death so that they can rise again. I suggest several things that churches can do to follow Jesus into the world. These ways allow us to BE the church rather than just attend church.

The Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament, was the 'Bible' of the early Christian Church. This is a comprehensive introduction to the issues surrounding the translation and development of the Septuagint. Professor Hengel first traces the history of the Septuagint. He explores the controversial discussion between Jews and Christians regarding its reliability, examining particularly the views of the church fathers relating to its authority, its inspiration, and its canon.
