Judaism and Origins of Christianity
August 24, 2012 at 8:33 pm
I am looking for materials (articles, books, etc) about the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. Did Christianity really have its roots in Judaism? Or was the pagan origin of Christianity and Jesus in particular carefully intertwined with the Israelite traditions to somehow depict a successor belief system? I have already read a few materials describing the pagan origin of Jesus but looking for an alternative view on this issue. Till now, I have short-listed two books, namely:

A Portable God: The Origin of Judaism and Christianity

and

Judaism and the Origins of Christianity.

After reading the reviews, I am not convinced that these are good materials for my research. Any suggestions from members will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
