Stephen De Young surveys Paul’s life and writings, interpreting them within the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church.

El Libro de los Jubileos es una obra hebrea perteneciente a los siglos I y II antes de nuestra era. Su nombre se debe a que las narraciones contenidas en él están sujetas a un sistema de periodos de jubileo de cuarenta y nueve años cada uno.
