Bread of Angels		With only her father’s secret formulas left, Lydia flees to Philippi and struggles to establish her business on her own. Determination and serendipitous acquaintances―along with her father’s precious dye―help her become one of the city’s preeminent merchants. But fear lingers in every shadow, until Lydia meets the apostle Paul and hears his message of hope, becoming his first European convert. Still, Lydia can’t outrun her secrets forever, and when past and present collide, she must either stand firm and trust in her fledgling faith or succumb to the fear that has ruled her life.
The Holy Epistle to the Hebrews, Volume 1: Sermons on a Messianic Jewish Approach		The Epistle to the Hebrews has been almost universally misunderstood as a sustained argument for replacement theology: Christianity’s replacement of Judaism and the obsolescence of the Torah. Torah Club author, D. Thomas Lancaster, challenges those assumptions by offering a post-supersessionist reading from a Messianic Jewish perspective on the text. Lancaster provides readers with the missing historical context and Jewish concepts necessary to understand the epistle within Judaism rather than in antithesis to it.

Cohen’s synthesis of religion, literature, and history offers deep insight into the nature of Judaism at this key period, including the relationship between Jews and Gentiles, the function of Jewish religion in the larger community, and the development of normative Judaism and other Jewish sects.
