More on Paul’s insight into the Promises – Part 3 of ‘The Hope of Israel’
October 4, 2012 by
(This is an edited version of the third chapter of Mauro’s book.)

October 4, 2012 by
(This is an edited version of the preamble and first chapter of Mauro’s book, The Hope of Israel.) Jewish fables (literally, myths) are no new thing.
