How does one define Judaism? What makes someone Jewish? Why has there always been so much controversy surrounding the land of Israel? Unfortunately, there has been much confusion and conflation regarding the terms “Israelites,” “Hebrews,” and “Jews.” Also, many traditions are not as ancient as people might think they are. But there are answers to be found in God’s word, which should be studied along with secular history and archaeology.

In this series, Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D., traces how and when Judaism became a definable religion. Whether you are Christian or Jewish, your faith should be based on God’s written word and historically verifiable facts, not on traditions and man-made dogma.
