S3 EP6 | How Judaism and Christianity Parted Ways

A Jew and a Gentile Discuss

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
