My 2019 book, “Refuting Rabbinic Objections to Christianity,”  addressed Judaism’s most common objections to Christianity.

While rabbinic Judaism managed to overcome and eliminate most other Jewish sects throughout history, one group, despite its small size, has survived until now. In his letter to the Romans, Paul speaks of the “remnant” (11:5), a faithful remnant of Israel who remain faithful to God despite the majority of …
