The foundation of Hebrew and Jewish religion, thought, law, and society is the Torah — the parchment scroll containing the text of the Five Books of Moses that is located in every synagogue.
This accessible guide explains the Torah in clear language, even to those who were not raised in the Jewish religious tradition.
At its core, a religion is a belief in divine (superhuman or spiritual) being(s) and the practices (rituals) and moral code (ethics) that result from that belief. Beliefs give religion its mind, rituals give religion its shape, and ethics give religion its heart.
The apostles and New Testament authors were all men, but that doesn't mean that the early Christian Church was an "all-male club." In fact, women played a vital role in the life of the early Christian Church.
