Jews and Christians: The Parting of the Ways, A.D. 70 to 135
edited by James D. G. Dunn
“The papers which follow were first delivered at the second Durham-Tübingen Research Symposium on Earliest Christianity and Judaism, which met at the University of Durham in September 1989[,...]on the subject of why and when earliest Christianity became something different from the Judaism of the same period. [...T]he symposium[...]focus[ed] on the period between the Jewish revolts (70–132), [with] a hunch that the years between apostolic age and post apostolic age, between second Temple Judaism and rabbinic Judaism, between the Jewish Christianity of James and Jerusalem and the Jewish Christianity of which the Fathers speak, are the hinge on which major issues hung and decisive events turned.” —“Preface”
