Answer 1

Christianity and Judaism, two of the world’s major religions, shared the same foundation—ancient Judaism.The two religions, however, eventually split in a series of partings, becoming two separate entities. There is one painting that dramatically illustrates the split of early Christianity and Judaism: Robert Campin’s Marriage of the Virgin.In his article “Parsing ‘The Parting.

The split of early Christianity and Judaism took place during the first centuries AD.It is commonly attributed to a number of events, including the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus (c. 33), the Council of Jerusalem (c. 50), the destruction of the Second Temple and institution of the Jewish tax in 70, the postulated, and largely discredited, Council of Jamnia c. 90, and the Bar Kokhba revolt.
