Summary

1. "For the last two decades historians have sought the decisive poitn in Roman antiquity at which the 'parting of the ways' between early Judaism and Christianity was complete. The essays gathered here challenge the assumption that any 'parting' took place, arguing for ongoing relationships between Jews and Christians, in different and complex ways, for the first few centuries of the common era." --
