Israelite Origins of the Catholic Faith

Second Exodus was originally created to highlight the Israelite origins of the Catholic faith, and it remains the apostolate’s most distinctive work.

Most of my writing on the Israelite origins of the Catholic faith is in the Second Exodus book.

The Israelite origins material on this site is intended to provide some useful information, but also to whet your appetite to buy the book. Here is where I help you find the Israelite origins material:

Marty’s Magazine & Web Articles

My first article for The Catholic Faith magazine, Our Jewish Heritage, gathers the most information in one place.

My second article, Covenant Morality, explains how Jesus’ two great commands fulfilled the Ten Commandments.

My 12th article, Why Jews Are Better Off in the Catholic Church Than in the Jews for Jesus, shows how God has always connected the authority of those who truly speak for Him with His own authority.

My article on The Eucharist in Scripture for The Real Presence web site highlights the Israelite origins of the Holy Eucharist.
