I thoroughly enjoyed this book especially because I gave a different perception of the early church. Especially how Jewish Christians were thought of not only outside of the community but inside as well. I really liked that I read a book a few months ago that also dealt with Paul in the last few years with life what was that about ten years after this book so give it a really interesting dichotomy. I will say if you're not heavily knowledgeable about the Hebrew language and some Jewish idioms then some of those that are in the book might throw you but I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical religious fiction expecially about the early church.
