Christianity did not develop in a vacuum.

Christianity did not develop in a vacuum. Nor did it simply come into existence with the death of Jesus and his alleged resurrection (more on that later).

How to reply when the doorbell rings Jul. 2, 2008 Emanuel Feldman , THE JERUSALEM POST Many years ago, while a rabbi in Atlanta, I answered a knock on my door one Shabbat afternoon. Standing in front of me was a fine-looking couple - obviously non-Jewish. "Shabbat Shalom, rabbi," they said, and asked to have a word with me. I sensed that they were missionaries and asked them what the subject was. They replied that they wanted to talk to me about the "Son of God." I suggested that while I re
