Salvation is from the Jews

[TAquinas]

Excellent book by Roy Shoeman. Partly apologetic, and partly about his journey from Judaism (though he is still a Jew) home to the church. He was led to the church by a vision of the Virgin Mother.

I've been wanting to pick this book up. I've recently seen the author on an EWTN program. He was describing how he was brought to the Catholic church through a vision of MAry which was followed by a desire to know her. He was also discussing the connections between the jewish tradition and the catholic faith. He and Scott Hahn were primarily focusing on the seven sacraments as they relate to the old testament. It was awesome to here how the catholic church isn't a replacement of judaism, it's a fullfilment of it. Every prophecy and every part of the old testament law can be seen as fullfilled in the catholic church. This makes perfect sense since Christ himself says he didn't come to destroy the law, he came to fullfill it.
a couple of examples I can recall are . . . .
Old testament New testament
-circumsision of the faithfull ---------- baptism of the faithfull
-animal sacrifice ------------ sacrifice of jesus' body
