Abstract

J. D. G. Dunn well knows that the partings of the took place over time, in different ways and with different results-but, still, by the middle of the second century C. E. there were two faiths: Christianity and the foundations of formative, or rabbinic, Judaism. This chapter suggests that it is the scholarly discovery of the diversity of Judaism and Christianity as well as the renewed interest in Jesus, and his vision for Israel that invigorates recent investigation into James, the brother of Jesus. It provides a preliminary view of purity that sets the stage for Jesus' vision for Israel and shows how James fits into that picture. Jesus operated with a system of purity but because his vision for Israel altered the landscape found in the traditions of Israel his vision of purity was different because it enacted that new vision.Keywords: Christianity; Israel; James; Jesus; Judaism
