Publisher's Synopsis
An Answer To The Jews is a book written by the early Christian theologian Tertullian. It is a response to the arguments made by Jewish critics of Christianity, who claimed that Jesus was not the Messiah and that the Christian faith was a false religion. Tertullian defends Christianity by citing passages from the Hebrew Scriptures and arguing that they foretell the coming of Jesus as the Messiah. He also addresses other criticisms of Christianity, such as the charge that it is a new and therefore illegitimate religion. The book is an important work of early Christian apologetics and provides insight into the debates between early Christians and Jews over the nature of Jesus and the validity of the Christian faith.For why should God, the founder of the universe, the Governor of the whole world, (4) the Fashioner of humanity, the Sower(5) of universal nations be believed to have given a law through Moses to one people, and not be said to have assigned it to all nations? For unless He had given it to all by no means would He have habitually permitted even proselytes out of the nations to have access to it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
