Reflections on Judaism and Christianity in Antiquity

  The initiative for this book was born within a study group active under the auspices of the Center for the Study of Relations between Jews, Christians, Muslims, at the Open University of Israel. This framework draws together Israeli scholars engaged in early Christianity and the relationship between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages, who assign a prominent place to 'the Parting of the Ways' – an issue of focal concern to current research on these topics – as well as to the question where and when came into being the boundary line separating between Judaism and Christianity.
