Description

The Only True God: Early Christian Monotheism in Its Jewish Context by James F. McGrath This book explores how early Christian monotheism developed from Jewish roots, examining key concepts such as the nature of God and the meaning of creation. By surveying New Testament writings and Jewish sources, McGrath reveals when and why the paths of Christianity and Judaism diverged. McGrath's study focuses on philosophical ideas that shaped the understanding of God in both traditions, including the concept of "creation out of nothing". This idea had significant implications for how Jews and Christians defined God's nature, leading to differing concepts and definitions over time.
