Question:
Dear Greg,
I
would like to know where I could read more about the history of the people of
“the way”. Which language does
the term originate from and what was the precursor religion before “the
way”?
Vincent
Answer: Dear Vincent,
It
sounds as if you are speaking of passages in the book of Acts that use the term
“way” as descriptive of early Christians.
The “way” was a term used by the Roman world to distinguish Jewish
Christians from Jews, and the precursor to Christianity was Judaism, as defined
by the old covenant and the laws that Jews had added to it.
In
Christ,
