The Parting of the Ways is James Dunn's classic exploration of the
important questions that surround the emergence of Christian
distinctiveness and the pulling apart of Christianity and Judaism
in the first century of our era. The book begins by surveying the
way in which questions have been approached since the time of F C
Baur in the nineteenth century. The author then presents the four
pillars of Judaism: monotheism, election and land, Torah and
Temple. He then examines various issues which arose with the
emergence of Jesus: Jesus and the temple; the Stephen affair;
temple and cult in earliest Christianity; Jesus, Israel and the
law; 'the end of the law'; and Jesus' teaching on God. The theme of
'one God, one Lord', and the controversy between Jews and
Christians over the unity of God, lead to a concluding chapter on
the parting of the ways. The issues are presented with clarity and
the views and findings of others are drawn together and added to
his own, to make up this comprehensive volume. James Dunn was
Lightfoot Professor of Divinity at the University of Durham until
his recent retirement. He is the author of numerous best-selling
books and acknowledged as one of the world's leading experts on New
Testament study.
