Jan Rice’s Reviews > Border Lines: The Partition of Judaeo-Christianity > Status Update

Have now caught up with where I'd left off + finished one additional chapter. Overall theme is that the early Rabbis (of Rabbinical Judaism) and the proto-orthodox Church colluded in creating a theological difference where no clear one had existed. Ideas about "Christianity" splitting off from "Judaism," leaving "Jewish Christians" behind or even of "Jewish, Christian, Pagan" are anachronistic, simplistic & wrong.

Resumed reading but had to backtrack and have not yet made it up to the point I'd reached. Slow going. A couple pages per day. We're reading it out loud at dinner. :) (Had quit to finish the book on political conservatism and then read The Overstory, so it had been a while.)

Had made it to the end of Part I (P. 86) when stopped to read something else. Now taking it back up, which involves backtracking. This is a tough one, but exciting.
