Treatise XII Three Books Of Testimonies Against The Jews - Paperback

by Cyprian (Author)

Treatise XII Three Books Of Testimonies Against The Jews is a religious text written by Cyprian, a bishop of Carthage in the 3rd century AD. The book is divided into three parts, each containing a collection of biblical passages and other writings that Cyprian uses to argue against the Jewish faith. The first book focuses on the Old Testament prophecies that Cyprian believes were fulfilled in the coming of Christ, while the second book examines the Jewish rejection of Christ and the consequences of that rejection. The third book contains various other arguments against the Jewish faith, including accusations of idolatry and blasphemy. Throughout the text, Cyprian emphasizes the superiority of Christianity over Judaism and the importance of converting Jews to the Christian faith. The book is an important work of early Christian theology and provides insight into the early Christian attitudes towards Judaism.That the Gentiles rather than the Jews attain to the kingdom of heaven. In the Gospel the Lord says: ""Many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall lie down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven; but the children of the kingdom shall go out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
