I just found this on Faithlife ebooks and it appears to be good The Other Zions: The Lost Histories of Jewish Nations. It has a preview on Amazon.

 

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Sounds great, but it sure is spendy.

    Thank you. I put it on my wish list!  The way Kindle prices change, maybe I'll get lucky with FL.

    Based on your other recommendation, somehow I also managed to end up in the area of crypto-jews and anusim. That sounds pretty suspicious.

    The author is a rabbi and discusses the connectivity of the early jewish perspectives vs the early greek perspective (aka Christianity). Quite refreshingly conservative (doesn't stretch the data). It's funny, he heavily references, so I'm just guessing he's got Accordance plus the part of Neusner Logos can't afford yet. Slow going, since I get to follow many new rabbit trails in Logos.

    That should get you to the Sephardic Catholics of New Mexico! Good going!

    Well, I tried to put it to my wish list, but cannot see it there.

    Then I just went on, and bought it.

    Also Moses had something to do with the Ethiopians, I want to see whether the book mentions that.

    I just wonder what will happen if that book is ported to a Logos edition (with the tagging), must I buy the Logos version to get it? Or is there a dynamic price in that case?

    I checked my wish list ... on eBooks. It's there. Of course not easy to find. I wonder why they want the eBook site to operate like finger nails on a chalkboard.
