Another session featuring panelists and discussion will examine the topic of "Acts and Apocalyptic Discourse." Finally, a session sponsored jointly with the Early Jewish Christian Relations section will consist of a panel discussion of Paula Fredriksen's new book "When Christians Were Jews: The First Generation."
