Christianity is generally seen as differing from Judaism in that,
rather than being the religion of a specific people, it is open to
all peoples. It is St Paul the Apostle who above all is regarded as
overcoming Jewish particularism and preparing the way for Christian
universalism. G. Holtz shows that a contrast of this kind does
justice neither to Paul nor to the Judaism of his age. A detailed
comparison of the Letters of St Paul with contemporary Jewish
writings, especially the literature of Qumran and the work of Philo
of Alexandria shows that on both sides there were tendencies
towards openness and towards delineation.
