Reading Moses Seeing Jesus. The early church wrestled with identity issues from a completely different perspective.
Since the messianic faith was Jewish, the challenge came when Gentiles were added
to the early messianic community. The very first church council (Acts 15) dealt with
how Gentiles fit into an essentially Jewish faith and culture. They concluded that
Gentile believers do not have to keep the Law (though many Gentile Christians today
are sincerely wondering whether or not their love for the Jewish Savior ought to be
expressed by observing the Law).
