Jewish-Christian Relations
Christianity began as a movement within Second Temple Judaism, and the two religions gradually diverged over the first few centuries of the Christian era. Today, differences in opinion vary between denominations in both religions, but the most important distinction is that Christianity accepts Jesus as the Messiah prophesied in the Hebrew Bible, while Judaism does not. Early Christianity distinguished itself by determining that observance of ''Halakha'' (Jewish law) was unnecessary for non-Jewish converts to Christianity (see Pauline Christianity). Another major difference is the two religions' conceptions of God. Most Christian denominations believe in a triune God—its members being known as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit—with the doctrine of the incarnation of the Son in Jesus being of special importance. In contrast, Judaism believes in and emphasizes the oneness of God and rejects the Christian concept of God in human form. Christianity recognizes the Hebrew Bibl ...
