separation between Judaism and Christianity

How can I locate materials on the examination of the separation between Judaism and Christianity in the first, second, third, and fourth centuries AD using Logos Bible Software? Resurrection, Immortality, and Eternal Life in Intertestamental Judaism and Early Christianity: Expanded Edition looks pretty good to my study but I am not sure. Any thoughts?

Use the tools you were given earlier on the subject of Judaism, although "separation" is not the term to use.

Search "Judaism" in the Early Church Fathers for a quick picture of the relationship.

There is a Search in Factbook under Judaism and the New Testament that you can adapt to a Books Search.

You have to understand that the Biblical faith of the Apostles (Sh'lichim) is Jewish, it was anti-Semitic Gentiles that attempted to strip it and The Lord Jesus The Messiah (Adonai Yehoshua HaMashiach) of their Jewishness. Jesus never came to start a new religion called Christianity, Christianity is the invention of Gentile believers, while Messianic Judaism is what most Jewish believers in Adonai Yehoshua HaMashiach practice, Messianic Judaism is the original Nazarene sect of Judaism of the first century and it is still practiced today by Jewish believers in Adonai Yehoshua HaMashiach. Yehoshua (Jesus) is a Jew and the Biblical faith of the Sh'lichim (Apostles) is Jewish.

How can I locate materials on the examination of the separation between Judaism and Christianity in the first, second, third, and fourth centuries AD using Logos Bible Software?

The near equivalent book in Logos: Ancient Judaism and Christian Origins: Diversity, Continuity, and Transformation (Nickelsburg; about 4 years earlier). One of its benefits is the emphasis on 'diversity' ... in early Judaism ... and early Christianity. Be careful of broad-brushing 2,000 years later.

Searching the Fathers (as above) will get you one side of the picture. Searching the Talmud will hint at the other perspective.
