A Jew and a Gentile Discuss

S3 EP6 | How Judaism and Christianity Parted Ways

Listen Later

If the first followers of Jesus were almost entirely Jewish, how did there grow to be such a huge divide between Judaism and Christianity? In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra dive into a bit of history to talk about just how and when these two faiths — both believing in the God of the Hebrew Scriptures — parted ways.

 

Ezra and Carly discuss:

  • The beginnings of Judaism and Christianity
  • Jewish authorship of most of the New Testament
  • The influence of the Jewish cultural context
  • The debate among Jewish Believers regarding what to do with non-Jewish Believers and what that says about the origins of Christianity

    •  

    Along the Way

    Along the way, you’ll also learn some key factors in the story of how Judaism and Christianity parted ways, such as:

    • What first-century Gentile Believers understood about their faith
    • How the shift from majority-Jewish to majority-Gentile took place in the Church
    • How the destruction of the Temple and the persecution and scattering of the Israelites affected things
    • Who Constantine was and what he did that further separated Judaism and Christianity
