Publisher's Description

“The Ways That Never Parted marks a major paradigm shift in our understanding of the complex interactions between Jewish and Christian tradition. This outstanding collection, with its lucid and incisive introduction, offers students and scholars an exciting range of new approaches to the history of western culture.”
“A remarkably original and exciting approach to the beginnings of both Christianity and rabbinic Judaism. Rather than Christianity emerging as a repudiation of Judaism, this book demonstrates that both religions took shape during the same era, influencing one another through close contacts, and that only after 400 C.E. can we speak of two separate religions.”
“The dramatic purge of the landscape of ancient religion that left Judaism and Christianity as lone survivors standing in the west did not come naturally, or easily, or quickly. The Ways That Never Parted opens important new lines of sight into a noisy, prolonged, and surprising history.”
